Ghana defender Baba Rahman has been included in Chelsea’s retained list for the upcoming 2023/24 season, the club confirmed on Friday.
Rahman joined Chelsea in 2015 from German side Augsburg for
an undisclosed fee, reported to be an initial £14 million, rising to a
potential fee of almost £22 million, but has had limited opportunities with the
club, featuring in just one season.
Instead, he has spent the past six seasons on loan at
various clubs, including Schalke 04, Stade Reims, and Reading, where he has
played for the past two seasons. It remains uncertain whether he will be sold
or loaned out for the upcoming season.
The 28-year-old recently suffered an injury, and he is
currently focused on his recovery. As a result, he was not called up to
represent Ghana in their match against Madagascar in the 2023 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier.
Rahman’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain, but his
inclusion in the club’s retained list suggests that he may still have a role to
play. As he continues to work on his recovery, the defender will be eager to
regain his fitness and prove himself to new Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino
during pre-season
