[LNB]The 19-year-old, who joined the Blues in controversial circumstances three years ago, is out of contract at the end of the season.

[LNB]Bayern Munich have shown interest, but AC Milan have now emerged as a strong competitor. [LNB]Kakuta is concerned at his lack of first-team opportunities at Chelsea and would seek assurances from other suitors that he will get playing time. [LNB]His arrival at the Barclays Premier League club was contested by Lens in 2007. The 'tapping up' dispute led to Chelsea being banned from signing any new players until January 2011 when FIFA handed down their judgement in September 2009. [LNB]However, the Court of Arbitation for Sport overturned the decision in February and cleared Chelsea of wrongdoing.  [LNB] Borini's Chelsea career could be over after shoulder surgery rules him outChelsea splash £9m on agents fees as Premier League clubs spend £67mSpurs, Chelsea and Arsenal target Romelu Lukaku will cost 'much more than £17m' as Anderlecht stand firm over teenage striker Chelsea and City target Alves: I want to stay at Barcelona after Real routSilva the trump card as Milan try to talk Luiz into snubbing City and ChelseaCHELSEA FC
