Jose Mourihno wants to rebuild his side’s frontline ahead of next season and is allowing Demba Ba, Fernando Torres and Romelu Lukaku to depart Chelsea this summer. According to reports, Chelsea have already received and accepted a loan offer for Senegalese striker Demba Ba from Turkish side Besiktas. The Istanbul club have been interested in the ex-Newcastle and West Ham starlet for some time now, and news struck this morning suggesting that Chelsea had accepted a full-season loan offer for next season.
The Turkish side are currently on a training camp in the UK and it is rumoured that the 29-year-old is currently discussing personal terms regarding the loan move to Istanbul next season with the option of a permanent deal after 12 months. The player was heavily linked with a move to Everton, but The Toffees’ baulked at having to meet the wage demands of 80k-per-week.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s hopes of selling Torres have proven to be almost flattered completely, after both Inter Milan and former-club Atletico Madrid pulled out of transfer talks concerning a possible deal.
