REVEALED: Chelsea put Michy Batshuayi up for sale

Chelsea are inviting offers for Michy Batshuayi ahead of the summer market.

Het Laatste Nieuws says Chelsea have put the Belgium international up for sale after deciding it best for the player to move on.

The 26-year-old is at best third on the strikers' pecking order behind the currently injured Tammy Abraham (22) and Olivier Giroud (33). In the recent 4-0 win over Everton, manager Frank Lampard even preferred 18-year-old Armando Broja ahead of Batshuayi.

With less than 18 months to run on his current deal, Chelsea know this summer will be the last chance for them to rake in a decent fee for the Belgian.

As such, his name is being circulated across Europe, with a move to the Bundesliga being mentioned as a most likely destination.
