Australian football icon Sam Kerr is reportedly preparing to leave Chelsea FC when the Women's Super League season concludes. Reports indicate that the star striker, along with teammate Millie Bright, will depart the London club. Kerr's contract is set to expire, and Chelsea appears to be moving on several veteran players as they aim to rejuvenate their squad.
Kerr, who joined Chelsea in 2019, has had a decorated career with the Blues, amassing 109 goals in 151 appearances and securing 11 major trophies. She was notably named the PFA Player of the Year in 2022. However, her role this season has been diminished following her return from an ACL injury, having started only seven matches.
The club has experienced a disappointing season, currently sitting nine points behind league leaders Manchester City with only four games remaining in their quest for a seventh consecutive league title. Guro Reiten, another key player, also departed the club recently, signaling a period of transition for Chelsea.
