Chelsea appears to release Salomon Kalou and Jose Bosingwa when their contracts expire at the end of June.

With Didier Drogba confirmed leaving the club, the European champions look set to release both Kalou and Bosingwa.

Kalou, who joined the Chelsea in 2006 and has scored 60 goals in 254 appearances, and Portuguese defender Bosingwa are unlikely to be offered new deals.

The English Premier League giants are planning several signatures.

Sao Paulo says they have rejected a bid of 32 million pounds for highly rated 19-year-old Brazilian Lucas Mauro.

Chelsea is also after the signature of Belgian Eden Hazard, but the Lille attacker has plenty of options with both Manchester United and rivals City interested.
