A fans favourite who will be missed. |
| Out |
Michael Ballack |
Midfielder |
Bayer Leverkusen |
Free |
German captain who spent four seasons with Chelsea playing in 83 games and scoring 16 goals. Now in the twilight of his career, Ballacks huge wages could not be sustained forever. |

Fluminense |
Free |
Versatile Brazilian right back who could also play as holding midfield. Made 94 appearances for Chelsea but was unlikely to break into first team very often. |
