Chelsea have confirmed that midfielder Ross Barkley has left the club after mutual consent regarding the termination of his contract.
Barkley joined the Blues back in 2018 from Everton. He made 100 appearances for the London club across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists.
Barkley won the Europa League in his first season with the Blues, where he scored in the penalty shootout in the semi-finals against Eintracht Frankfurt.
His last appearance for the club came in May. The midfielder managed to get on the scoresheet against Watford in the Blues' last game of the previous season.
He was signed for a fee of £15.1 million in 2018. Barkley was loaned out to Aston Villa during the 2020-21 season.
He found it hard to get regular playing time under Thomas Tuchel, playing just 14 matches across all competitions last season.
Barkley is currently without a club after terminating a contract.
Barkley has also made 33 appearances for england, scoring six goals for the Three Lions.
Chelsea are considering a last minute bid for Wilfried Zaha
According to The Independent, Chelsea are considering making a last-minute bid for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.
The Blues are currently looking to add more depth to their attack. Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku left the club at the start of the season to join their respective former clubs RB Leipzig and Inter Milan.
Hence, it is understandable why Thomas Tuchel is keen to add players to his forward line.
Zaha has been a crucial piece in Patrick Vieira's puzzle at Crystal Palace. Hence, whether the club lets the player go remains to be seen.
Zaha will also be a good addition to Thomas Tuchel's side. The player has made 433 appearances for Crystal Palace, scoring 86 goals and providing 73 assists.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is yet another striker that the Blues are interested in. Since Robert Lewandowski's arrival at the Camp Nou, the Gabonese striker's playing time has been brought under question.
To add to that, Barcelona are also looking to offload players from their squad as they want to fit their new signings in the wage bill. Hence, a move to Chelsea might be on the cards for the former Arsenal striker.

Don’t let be biased Loftus Is good and we all see how strong he is while playing and also he has finishing while on the line playing but the only issues I have with him is just he is selfish player because when he get hold of ball in 18 all what he will plan is to Goal without looking for other solutions just like James does ☺️

Name one Chelsea current players who can shoot outside 18yard box to goal or target on shot accept MOUNT....Barkley was that one player who can do that and that's what Chelsea lack in the team now course you need to have a midfielder who can do that not always depends on strikers to score....kante,kovacic and jorginho cant afford that...Barkley was treated badly he should been at form if giving him game time and we would seen him as his olding days in everton....After lampard,essein,ballack one or two players who has produce that in midfield for Chelsea we haven't get any midfielder to do that.... wish him well in his next chapter

Chelsea got it wrong this time,why should they do this to backley, He is better than even most of our so called first team mildfilders. if someone contract has to be terminated it should be the likes of Bakayoko, Batshuayi, Betineli etc. all these players mentioned are total waste & a deadwood who has contributed northing to the team for some years now. I hope Chelsea will not this decision in the near future. good luck Backley I will miss your outside 18yard shoots.

Kante is out for some weeks and TT decides to accept a contract termination. He should have played Barkley with RLC against Leeds we could have won that game. Anyway, with Kovacic and Jorginho I hope we can control our midfield and convert possession into chances and finally goals.
chelsea have many players in barkley position, so let him go, don't let chelsea spoil his career
