Revealed: When Chelsea will sell £11m striker Loic Remy
CHELSEA will not sell Loic Remy to the Chinese Super League until Alexandre Pato is match fit, according to reports.
Loic Remy has scored just three goals for Chelsea all season
The Blues currently have one other fit striker in Diego Costa.
Remy, 29, has been offered a £106,000-a-week deal to join Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.
Chelsea will get £11million for the France international - but don't want to sell him just yet.
Remy is not expected to start in any of these fixtures but remains Hiddink's first back-up striker to Costa.
The forward's last start was back in September and he has scored just three goals during the entire campaign.
Loan arrival Pato is not yet match fit, while Radamel Falcao is injured.
The Standard claim once Pato, who is available for European competition, is fit enough to play then Remy will be offloaded.
