There is reportedly already serious interest coming in for one Chelsea player who may well be sold soon even though he started on Tuesday evening.
Chelsea beat Barrow in the third round of the League Cup on Tuesday and Enzo Maresca made 11 changes to the team that beat West Ham at the weekend. It was a chance for fringe players to get some minutes and show the manager what they can do and stake a claim.

Players such as Benoit Badiashile started the game, but his future is certainly going to be a bit unclear now because he is not going to be a regular starter at Chelsea this season unless there are some long term injuries or Chelsea are playing in a Conference League match or a domestic cup competition.
Badiashile has interest from Inter
According to Inter Live via Sport Witness today, Inter Milan are interested in signing Benoit Badiashile next summer as they believe he would fit into Simone Inzaghi system. The French centre back is valued at €20m-€25m according to the report.
Badiashile may well think about his Chelsea future, especially when The Blues might also be once again looking to sign another new centre back in the next one or two transfer windows.
So this will mean that if the Inter interest is legit, he could look at it, and you’d suspect Chelsea might be interested in selling as well for the right price.
January is fast approaching, but this one would be for the summer according to the report.
