A 24-year-old player who hasn’t seen any action this season received clearance from Pochettino to depart from Chelsea this month, and there are indications that Chelsea is considering terminating his contract this season.

• Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, previously rumored to be departing this month, has received permission from Mauricio Pochettino to leave before the January transfer window concludes.
• The decision aligns with Chelsea’s perspective, considering the 24-year-old as a valuable asset whose sale could positively impact their Financial Fair Play situation. Despite Chalobah’s recent injury absence, he has hinted at nearing full fitness, enhancing his prospects of securing a new club.

While AC Milan and Napoli have reportedly submitted offers for the center-back, Crystal Palace, based closer to home, has expressed interest without presenting an official offer. Chalobah’s departure from Stamford Bridge is seen as essential for his development, but the lack of concrete offers from interested teams makes it premature to predict his destination.
