Matej Delac became Chelsea's longest-serving player when John Terry left earlier this summer, but he won't stay for much longer.

The 24-year-old Croatian goalkeeper, who joined the Blues in 2010 but has never played for the club in an official game, is expecting to move on in the coming weeks.

"I have one year left on my contract, and there is no chance of getting a work permit. Therefore, Chelsea will sell me," he told ESPN FC in an exclusive interview.

Inability to get a work permit in the United Kingdom stood between Delac and fulfilling his aspirations.
