Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is set to lose another squad member despite the transfer window closing two weeks ago.
The Blues were linked with high-profile targets like Alejandro Garnacho and Mathys Tel but failed to make any signings before the February 3 deadline.

Instead, Maresca opted to trim the squad, sanctioning loan moves for Joao Felix, Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Ben Chilwell.
Now, young striker Deivid Washington is reportedly finalizing a return to Brazil on loan, despite joining Chelsea for £16million from Santos in 2023.
After weeks of negotiations, UOL reports that Chelsea and Santos have exchanged documents, paving the way for his move.
The 18-year-old forward has struggled for game time and will look to reignite his career back in his homeland.
