German star Andre Schurrle is being monitored by former boss Roberto Di Matteo, with the manager ready to bring the player to his home country.
The World cup winner has fallen out of favour with Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge, after successive disappointing performances in the Capital One Cup and the Premier League so far this season .
Mourinho has even publically criticised Schurrle by responding to questions whether he was disappointed with the performance that the German gave against Shrewbury back in October.
And now it is understood that the winger could be allowed to leave in January with former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo offering the player a way out of the Premier League.
With Schalke now set to lose star man Julian Draxler, the club have began monitoring the situation of Schurrle, despite heavy interest from rivals Borrussia Dortmund .
Di Matteo is actively looking to see if he can secure a deal to sign Schurrle on loan with the option to buy or on a permanent deal once the January transfer window opens.
