Todd Boehly set to terminate Barkley’s contract

Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly has decided to buy off Ross Barkley’s contract to see him off the club this summer.

The attacking midfielder hasn’t featured for the Blues this season.

The 28-year-old, who moved to Stamford Bridge from Everton in 2018 for £15m, has failed to make a significant impact, scoring 12 goals across 100 games.

Barkley was on loan at Aston Villa last season, but he returned to Chelsea last term and only made 14 appearances across all competitions.

Everton’s young winger, Anthony Gordon is set to join Chelsea, and the plan to buy Barkley’s contract is to free up space to accommodate Gordon.

Barkley, who took part in Chelsea’s pre-season tour last month, has a year remaining on his current deal and his reported salary is £200k a week.
