With Rahman not making the squad for the London side for the Super Cup, it leads to be seen if he would stay for the upcoming season.

The 27-year old joined Chelsea in 2015 but has spent most of his time away from the club on loan. His last loan spell was with Greek side PAOK Thessaloniki resulted in league cup win and he was hoping to build on that.

It is understood that PAOK want him back at the club but they face competition from fellow Greek side Olympiakos.

Rahman's former club Augsburg as well as Italian side Torino are reported to be interested in the services of the left-back too.

Rahman was impressive in pre-season for Chelsea as he assisted twice for the Blues.
