Chelsea want to tie Michy Batshuayi to a new contract before sending him on loan for the 2020-21 campaign, according to a report.

Chelsea are reportedly hopeful of tying Michy Batshuayi to a new contract before sending the centre-forward on loan for the 2020-21 campaign.

The Belgium international only scored once in 16 Premier League appearances for the Blues last season and his future has been the subject of speculation in recent months.

According to The Sun, Chelsea want to offer the 26-year-old a new £100,000-a-week deal to prevent him from leaving on a free transfer next summer, but the attacker is likely to spend next season away from the club.

The report claims that Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United are all interested in a loan deal, but the majority of Batshuayi's wages will have to be paid by the side that takes him.

Palace are believed to be the favourites for the Belgian, who spent the second half of the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Selhurst Park, scoring five times in 11 Premier League outings.

Timo Werner's summer arrival has pushed Batshuayi further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
