Chelsea announce transfer of midfielder to raise funds for future signings

Chelsea have announced the sale of Mario Pasalic to Atalanta.

The midfielder has been on loan with the Serie A side this season and has really impressed during his time with the club.

The 25-year-old has been a regular in the side throughout the campaign, netting five Serie A goals and adding another five assists to his name.

Atalanta have been one of the teams of the season through Europe, and they have exercised the buy option in the loan, with the Blues set to receive £13.5million for the transfer.

Pasalic signed for Chelsea back in 2014 from Hajduk Split, but has not featured for the club and instead has spent time on loan at Elche, Monaco, AC Milan Spartak Moscow and Atalanta.

But his time with the Blues will come to an end on a permanent basis when the transfer window opens this summer.
