Chelsea transfer report: Striker Michy Batshuayi could stay with Blues after rejecting Fenerbahce switch

1 Michy Batshuayi scored just nine goals for Chelsea last season

Out-of-favour Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has hinted he could stay at Stamford Bridge next season this summer, after turning down the chance to join Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

The Belgium international struggled for regular first-team football under Antonio Conte last season following his £35million arrival from Marseille.

Batshuayi only managed 239 minutes in the Premier League last season and there were suggestions the striker could leave after just one campaign.

Reports in Turkey had claimed Fenerbahce tabled a £3.5m-per-season offer to Batshuayi, only for the 23-year-old to reject their advances.

While Diego Costa’s long-term future remains unclear, Batshuayi may yet opt to stay at Stamford Bridge next season in hope of securing regular first-team football.

It remains to be seen whether Fenerbahce return with an improved offer, or indeed if Chelsea decide to resist letting Batshuayi leave this summer.
