Rumours linking Edouard Mendy with a summer exit from Chelsea continue to appear. The goalkeeper lost his place in the starting XI to Kepa and turned down an offer to extend his deal.
Journalist Simon Phillips insists the Senegalese's departure next summer is looking more and more likely.
"On Chelsea’s side of things, they’re going to listen to offers for Mendy in the summer," Phillips told Give Me Sport.
"Mendy has a contract that Chelsea and Mendy were expecting to speak about extending very soon, but that’s gone stale and there’s going to be no new talks at the moment.
"Mendy’s people – and Mendy as well – are also considering and looking at other options. In the summer, that is one I’d expect to happen if Chelsea can get a good fee for him."
