Chelsea striker Demba Ba could be on his way out of the Stamford Bridge this summer, according to Spanish daily AS.
It is believed that Jose Mourinho, who arrived at the club this summer for his second managerial stint, prefers Spain goal-poacher Fernando Torres over the former Newcastle forward.
The France-born Senegal striker made his switch from the Tyneside outfit to the London giants in the January transfer window, penning a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Blues.
The 28-year-old clocked up a total of 22 appearances under former manager Rafael Benitez last season and scored six times, as Chelsea finished third in the English Premier League and also bagged the Europa League crown.

PSG are thought to have already agreed personal terms with Cavani, and the club lead the race for the signature of the highly-rated striker.
