Confirmed: Chelsea Release Three Players!

As of July 1, 2016, Chelsea have confirmed the departures of Radamel Falcao, Alexandre Pato and Marco Amelia from the club.



While the former 2 left Chelsea after the expiry of their loan spells at the club, Amelia was told by Chelsea that they won’t be renewing his contract this summer.

Following a failed spell at Manchester United in the 2014/15 season, Falcao joined Chelsea on a season-long loan from AS Monaco at the start of last season.

Similar to his stint at Manchester United – where Falcao largely underperformed, his career at Chelsea won’t be remembered for long. The Colombian international made just 10 appearances for Chelsea in the league, scoring 1 goal in the process.

Pato was yet another short-term signing last season, however, like Falcao, he too failed to live up to the expectations. Signed from Brazilian club Corinthians in January, Pato was able to make just 2 appearances for the club.
