The 29-year-old has suffered a troubling season at Stamford Bridge with injuries that have seen him struggling for form.
However, the playerââ¬â¢s agent Fabien Piveteau has stated nothing will be decided yet on his clients future until after a new manager is appointed.
Piveteau toldà Calciomercato: ââ¬ÅRight now there is nothing and I have not heard from any Italian club.
"Is he happy at Chelsea? He is going through a difficult time but only because he has come back from a serious injury."
He added, "I have spoken to Chelsea and they said they are happy but in football you can't guarantee what happens in the future.
ââ¬ÅHe has three years left on his contract but it depends on who will coach Chelsea in the summer."
