According to The Sun, Chelsea will slash the asking price for Michy Batshuayi in a desperate bid to avoid losing the striker for nothing.

The report claims Chelsea wanted £40million for the Belgian in the January window but are now willing to lower the asking price for Batshuayi to avoid losing him for free in the summer of 2021.

Despite not playing regularly for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea team this season, Batshuayi reportedly wants to remain at Chelsea and run down his deal which expires in the summer of 2021.

It is believed Batshuayi could get a big-money contract in China or the Middle East as a free agent.

Chelsea are keen to sell the 26 year old striker this summer for a lower asking price to avoid losing him for free in the summer of 2021.
