Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole are set to leave Chelsea in the summer, according to new boss Rafael Benitez.
The English pair have been linked with a move from Stamford Bridge since the pre-season, although Benitez believes he will only be involved in contract negotiations if his short-term contract is extended.
Lampard is rumoured to be in talks with a number of clubs in China - where he could play with or against former team-mates Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba - and the US, where the Los Angeles Galaxy are favourites for his signature.
Meanwhile, Cole has attracted interest from the big spending Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League rivals Manchester United who are believed to be keen on signing the 31-year-old on a one-year deal.
