Batshuayi future up in the air as Crystal Palace have no purchase option

Michy Batshuayi is set to return to Chelsea at the end of the season, as Goal can confirm Crystal Palace do not have a purchase option as part of their loan agreement.

In any case, Palace cannot afford to sign the 25-year-old in a permanent deal and the Belgian is unsure about remaining at Selhurst Park beyond the end of the current campaign.

There are also doubts about his future at Stamford Bridge and whether he is capable of breaking into the first-team set-up under Maurizio Sarri, who already allowed him to spend the second half of the campaign away from the club.
