Seven Members Of Chelsea's First-team Squad Set To Be Out Of Contract Within The Next Year

Chelsea are set to lose seven key members of their first team squad at the end of next season.

Multiple star players are now entering the final year of their contracts and so will be free to move away from Stamford Bridge after the 2018/19 campaign.

One of the most high profile is first choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, with whom the Blues have failed to agree a new deal.

Scroll down to see the seven first team squad players Chelsea could lose next summer.

1. Thibaut Courtois (26 years old)

As mentioned above, talks for a new contract with the Belgian have broken down and he could leave even sooner than next summer should Chelsea look to get big money for their keeper.

2. David Luiz (31 years old)

The Blues re-signed Luiz on a three-year deal in 2016. He has fallen out of favour under Antonio Conte, but could yet sign a new agreement and be restored to the side depending on who is manager at Stamford Bridge next season.

3. Gary Cahill (32 years old)

Chelsea's current captain regained a place in the side at the back end of the 2017/18 season and would likely look to sign a new deal with the club if possible.

4. Pedro (30 years old)

When Pedro arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2015, he signed a four-year deal which is now set to expire. His inconsistency has been an issue and seen him rotated regularly with Willian on the Blues' right wing.

5. Cesc Fabregas (31 years old)

Fabregas joined Chelsea on the opening day of the 2014 World Cup and His five-year deal is now almost up. Given how the Spaniard's performances have worsened over the past few seasons, it is far from a certainty that the club's hierarchy would sign him up again.

6. Olivier Giroud (31 years old)

The Blues agreed an 18-month deal to take Giroud from Arsenal in January. He was seen as a stopgap second-choice striker, but displaced Alvaro Morata last season. While many fans were sceptical when he first joined, most wouldn't now be averse to him sticking around at Stamford Bridge.

7. Willy Caballero (36 years old)

For years Chelsea struggled with the Ross Turnbull as their goalkeeping number two and when Petr Cech left it appeared they may find trouble again. However, Caballero has come in and been a solid fixture when needed. Whether he stays beyond next season remains to be seen
