Out) Mohamed Salah
In) Karim Bellarabi (Bayer Leverkusen)
Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Bayer Leverkusen winger Karim Bellarabi – and the impressive young German would certainly be a useful capture for the Blues. Creative and capable of going past players, Bellarabi is perhaps set to be the player that Mourinho had hoped Salah was.
Out) John Obi Mikel
Chelsea need better than the ageing Nigerian as cover for Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas in central midfield – although Mourinho is probably likely to view the end of the season as the time for Mikel to be moved on. Still, it makes sense for him to end his career elsewhere, with the bonus of more regular first team action.
In) Sergio Busquets (Barcelona)
Out) Marko Marin
The German winger, signed on a free transfer from Werder Bremen, has never proven to be up to it in a Chelsea shirt and is currently spending the season on loan at Fiorentina – although there is some talk that deal could be ripped up in January. If so, Chelsea need to try and get Marin off the books permanently.
In) Andrej Kramaric (Rijeka)
