Chelsea star set for Stamford Bridge exit amid interest from top Premier League clubs

Branislav Ivanovic only has one more year left to run on his contract

CHELSEA defender Branislav Ivanovic could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge, according to reports.

The Serbian has one year left on his contract in west London and is yet to be offered a new contract.

Several top clubs in England and abroad are monitoring his situation, according to the MailOnline.

Ivanovic. who arrived from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008, has come under fire for his recent performances in the opening two Premier League fixtures as Chelsea drew 2-2 with Swansea before losing 3-0 to Manchester City on Sunday.
Chelsea announced the signing of Baba Rahman on Sunday, as the Ghana international completed a £21.7m move from Augsburg.
Jose Mourinho is also keen in his pursuit of Everton's John Stones and having had a £30million bid rejected, the Blues could return with an improved fourth offer.

Mourinho made it clear that no defender's position is safe as he substituted captain John Terry for Kurt Zouma in their trip to the Etihad.
Ivanovic could see himself pushed down the pecking order if his performances are not up to Mourinho's standard while talk of a new contract remains on hold for now.
The 31-year old was made vice-captain of Chelsea this season but could be forced to a seat on the bench in replace of Rahman this Saturday in Chelsea's trip to the Hawthorns.
