4 Chelsea loanees who need to leave the club permanently this summer

Chelsea boasts one of the largest squads in the Premier League and regards in Europe as well and the main reason for that is because the Blues have loaned out a total of 41 players this season. Over the years Chelsea has gained a reputation of loaning out some really top stars, who on a normal day could get into any top European team.

Chelsea's recent transfer appeal which was rejected by FIFA will see them slapped with a transfer ban until the end of January 2020. While this will certainly affect them in terms of competing for the title and with the rest of Europe, a number of their loaned players might finally get a chance to shine with the Chelsea first team.

However, while playing for the Chelsea first team might be a dream for the younger Chelsea loanees, a lot of the other more experienced loanees should look to leave the club this summer. Having already proved themselves a number of times during their various loan spells and with a lot of them still not getting a chance to play in the first team, here is a look at 4 Chelsea loanees who should leave the club permanently this summer.

#1. Mario Pasalic

Mario Pasalic has developed into a top player at Atalanta.

Mario Pasalic joined Chelsea way back in 2014 for just £3 million and since making the move to Stamford Bridge the Croatian international has been sent out on loan every single season. The 24-year-old has been on loan at the likes of Elche, Monaco, AC Milan, Spartak Moscow, and his most recent loan spell has him at Atalanta.

While he might not have been as experienced and as talented back in 2014, Pasalic has since grown and matured into a top midfielder since then. In the 5 loan spells, Pasalic has scored a total of 27 goals and assisted 14 goals with his most fruitful season being his current one at Atalanta.

He has scored 7 goals and assisted another 7 so far for Atalanta this season and has been instrumental for them as they chase Champions League football next season. The Croatian has maintained a pass success rate of 82.8% so far this season and is highly rated for his finishing, ariel duels and his defensive contributions.

Pasalic's contract at Chelsea runs out in 2021, but his loan deal with Atalanta was included with an option for the Italian club to buy him at the end of the season. With a transfer value of just around £10 million, Atalanta should buy him this summer and having already proved himself the last few years, Pasalic should look to move on from Chelsea having established himself as a top midfielder.

#2. Michy Batshuayi

Michy Batshuayi's career never really took off since he joined Chelsea.

A lot was expected from Michy Batshuayi after he completed his £40 million move to Chelsea in 2016, but things have clearly not gone the way of the Belgium international. It's been three years since Batshusyi moved to Chelsea and the striker has managed to make only 53 appearances for them. And in those three years, he has been sent out on loan to 3 different clubs and he never managed to find his form at any of them.

Now with Chelsea's transfer appeal being rejected by FIFA, Batshuayi might finally get a chance at Chelsea next season. But if Maurizio Sarri really believed in his abilities as a striker he would not have sent him out on loan to Valencia at the start of this season. And then when Chelsea was after a new striker following their struggles with Alvaro Morata, they could have just called back Batshuayi instead of going after Gonzalo Higuain.

So it's clear that Sarri is not a big fan of the Belgium striker and even if Sarri does decide to give him a chance at Chelsea next season, he will have to spend a lot of time on the bench. Batshuayi is 25 right now and he will want to start every game for whichever team he plays for.

With Morata, Tammy Abraham and possibly Oliver Giroud set to be Chelsea's strikers next season, Batshuayi should definitely look to leave Chelsea this summer and restart his career somewhere else as he looks to live up to the potential everyone thought he was capable of achieving.

#3. Baba Rahman

Baba Rahman seems to be finding his form at Reims after a serious knee injury.

Baba Rahman is another Chelsea player with huge potential but one that was never given enough time at the Premier League club to prove himself. A lot was expected from the Ghanaian after he moved to Chelsea for a rumored transfer fee of around £22 million, but after one season in which he made a total of 23 appearances, he was loaned out to Schalke and has been shipped out on loan every season ever since.

His loan spell at Schalke did not go the way he wanted with the left back struggling to get regular playing time with the German team as well. During his two-year loan spell at Schalke, he only managed to make 22 appearances and his 3rd loan spell was disrupted by injury.

Rahman decided to move to Ligue 1 club Reims in January 2019 and he finally seems to be getting his career back on track with the French club. In the 10 games he has played for them, Reims have lost only 3 games and they currently sit in 9th position in the Ligue 1 table.

With Chelsea's transfer ban in effect till January 2020, Rahman might get a chance to prove himself during pre-season this summer, but with Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri fighting for that left back spot as well, he might not get as much playing time as he wants.

At 24, Rahman is just getting to his best and after finally finding his form and after coming back from a serious injury, he will not want to spend time on the bench and finding a new club this summer would be perfect for him as he looks to fulfill his potential.

#4. Ola Aina

Ola Aina has proved himself at Torino this season.

Unlike the other players on this list, Ola Aina was not bought, he was a graduate from the Chelsea academy and worked his way up to the Chelsea first team. Aina finally got his chance with the Chelsea first team in the 2016/17 season but the wing back managed to make a total of just 7 appearances that season.

The Nigerian was loaned out to Hull City in the Championship the following year and while they finished at the wrong end of the table, Aina was central to that team as he made a total of 44 appearances that season and also managed to register 3 assists. He took a step further and went out on loan to Torino this season and once again has been central to this team as well as they look to qualify for Europe.

Aina has made a total of 30 appearances for Torino and has been one of their most impressive players so far this season. The talented wing back is great at reading the game, is an amazing dribbler and is very good at interceptions. Aina can operate on the right as well as the left side and he might get a chance at Chelsea next season, but it might not be as much as he wants.

Torino has an option to buy him at the end of this season and with a transfer value of just around £10 million, Torino should buy him as they look to improve ahead of next season.

All the players mentioned on this list will definitely get a chance to prove themselves during the preseason this summer, but with no guarantee of first team football and with a host of other Chelsea loanees also set to return this summer, it will not be easy to get into the first team. Hence, having already proved themselves on numerous occasions, leaving Chelsea permanently for a new challenge would be better for them.
