Chelsea to allow Dominic Solanke leave over £50,000-a-week demand

Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte, has said that Dominic Solanke is likely to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The Premier League leaders have refused to meet Solanke’s wage demands, with the 19-year-old’s representatives reported to be asking for a £50,000-a-week salary.

Solanke made his debut for Chelsea in 2014 when he was just 17, but has failed to break through since.

He spent last season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, but now looks to be on his way out of Stamford Bridge.

“I think this is his will,” Conte said during his press conference on Friday.

“This question is better to ask him. I think for a young player to stay in a great team is a great opportunity.

“We have to respect every decision. Obviously I have spoken with him to try and understand his will.

“I repeat we must respect every decision. His contract expires in June. I wish for him and his family in the future. I am not sure.”

Everton, Sunderland and Newcastle are believed to be interested in signing Solanke, only if he is more realistic with his demands.
