New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has reportedly informed five senior players they are free to leave the club as he begins reshaping his squad less than a week into pre-season training.
According to Portuguese outlet A Bola on Thursday, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, defenders Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile, winger Alejandro Garnacho and striker Liam Delap have all been told they can seek moves elsewhere this summer.
The five players are said to have a combined market value of about £160 million.
The Sun reports that Alonso, who took charge of Chelsea this summer, has already hinted that Garnacho could leave amid reported interest from another club.
