Chelsea prepared 89 million euros for the purchase of two English midfielders - Ross Barkley from Everton and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain of Arsenal.

Arsenal midfielder this summer also claimed West Ham and Liverpool, and the player previously expressed his willingness to leave the club.

Ross Barkley also announced his desire to leave the club, and Ronald Kuman no longer expects that the midfielder will remain in the team.

The competition for Chelsea in the race for Barkley could be Manchester United and Tottenham.

Earlier it was reported that Barkley can skip the start of the season.
