Chelsea ready first team clear-out as FIVE stars head for Stamford Bridge exit. JOSE MOURINHO is busy reshaping his squad having brought in Cesc Fabregas, sold David Luiz, and secured a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa. And there are five other stars that look destined to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. The arrival of Costa will see Fernando Torres and Demba Ba leave the club, with the former Liverpool ace a target for Spanish side Valencia. Midfielder Marko Marin will also be shown the door, with his former club Wolfsburg readying a £7m bid. The Blues have also slapped a whopping £31m price-tag on Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. According to reports in Spain and Italy, La Liga champions Atletico and Italian champions Juventus are interested in signing the former Anderlecht star. Hull boss Steve Bruce will pay £5.25m for Chelseas England left-back Bertrand, having made him his top target after considering moves for Swanseas Neil Taylor, highly-rated young Doncaster left-back James Husband, and Danny Rose at Tottenham. - [via Daily Star] ~RJ
