		</div><p>Chelsea have confirmed the departures of forwards Radamel Falcao and Alexandre Pato at the end of their loan deals, while squad goalkeeper Marco Amelia will also leave Stamford Bridge.</p>
<p>Falcao had joined the Blues on a season-long deal from Monaco following a spell at Manchester United. However, the 30-year-old Colombian made a limited impact with just 12 appearances as he was hampered by injury setbacks.</p>
<p>Pato, meanwhile, was signed from Corinthians in January but the Brazilian struggled with fitness issues and made only two first-team appearances under interim manager Guus Hiddink.</p>
<p>Amelia, meanwhile, was signed on a short-term contract to provide cover for then injured goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.</p>
<p>Chelsea confirmed the news in a statement on the club&#8217;s official website, which went on to detail the players&#8217; involvement with the squad.</p>
<p>&#8220;With contracts having come to an end, we today say farewell to three players who were part of the squad during last season &#8211; Falcao, Pato and Marco Amelia,&#8221; the statement read.</p>
<p>&#8220;Chelsea Football Club thanks the players for their contributions and wishes them success in the future.&#8221;</p>
<p>New manager Antonio Conte is set to take up his role following the end of Italy&#8217;s Euro 2016 campaign.</p>
<p>The Blues are expected to secure the £33m transfer of Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.</p>
<p>Chelsea also this week announced new scholars for the 2016/2017 season, which include midfielder Juan Familia-Castillo, who joins the club from Ajax where he captained the under-16 side as well as representing Holland.</p>
