CHELSEA are willing to listen to offers of up to SIX fringe players, reports say.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca has been open about expecting some of his squad to push for transfers away amid a lack of game time.

According to the Daily Mail, Renato Veiga is among them with Premier League sides Wolves and Bournemouth interested.
Veiga, 21, offers versatility, being able to play at left-back, centre-half and in midfield, suiting Maresca’s system.
And he has offered back up to Marc Cucurella, 26, this season after Ben Chilwell, 28, was frozen out.
But Veiga has been limited to 14 starts this season with only one coming in the league.
Carney Chukwuemeka, 21, is another Chelsea are ready to consider offers for after failing to break into the starting 11.
Chukwuemeka has only five appearances this season, all in cup competition, and has become a loan target for Strasbourg and Borussia Dortmund.
Midfielder Cesare Casadei – whose six games have also come in the Carabao Cup and Europa Conference League – could also leave.
Chelsea rejected a £10million bid from Torino for Casadei, 21, with other Italian clubs also said to be interested in the starlet.

Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are others facing uncertain futures at Stamford Bridge.
Nkunku is the club’s second top scorer this season in all competitions on 12 – one behind Cole Palmer.
But only two have come in the league and the Frenchman, 27, has been restricted to cup games and providing back up to Nicolas Jackson, 23.
Maresca has also claimed Nkunku’s best position is not as a sole striker – despite the majority of his starts coming up front.
The ex-RB Leipzig star is believed to be open to a move away and Manchester United were recently linked with a £56m move for the forward.
Disasi, 26, is traditionally a centre-back but has found himself covering at right-back this season due to injuries to Reece James, 25.
But he has made just five league appearances and the Blues could be ready to offload the France international.
That is despite a defender being a top priority for Maresca in the winter window.
Former academy graduate Marc Guehi – sold to Crystal Palace for £18m in 2021 – is linked with a Chelsea return but is rated at £55m.
Dewsbury-Hall, 26, followed Maresca in the summer from Leicester for £30m following a Championship winning season.
But he has struggled to push Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez or Romeo Lavia out of Maresca’s midfield.
It has made him a target for rivals this month with West Ham most recently linked.
