Chelsea are looking to sell winger Angelo Gabriel before the end of the window instead of loaning him out, according to reports.
It has been a busy summer for the Blues and as a new manager they have been working in the transfer market trying to strengthen the squad to get back into the Champions League.
The club completed the £51.4m signing of Pedro Neto from Wolves last weekend and are still locked in talks over potential deals for Joao Felix and Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea are looking to sell Angelo
The Blues have a very large squad and need to get rid of a number of players in the final weeks of the window.
The likes of Romelu Lukaku, Trevoh Chalobah, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja are likely to fetch big bucks, but there are also a number of youngsters who need their futures sorted.
Andrey Santos and Caleb Wiley have joined Strasbourg on loan, while Alfie Gilchrist will spend the season at Sheffield United.
Brazilian midfielder Angelo was set to go on loan and Turkish side Besiktas are reportedly interested.
However, BBC Sport have reported that Chelsea would rather sell the 19-year-old than loan him out.
The report added that the club could change its status if it does not receive any offers it deems acceptable.
Angelo was there during the pre-season and the arrival of Neto saw his chances of minutes become even less.
The defender joined Chelsea last summer for £13m from Brazilian side Santos and is yet to play a competitive game for the club.
The Brazilian under-20 spent last season on loan at Strasbourg where he made 25 appearances in all competitions without scoring, but it looks like just one year into his long-term deal at Stamford Bridge his playing time may be over.
