According to The Sun Roman Abramovich has decided that he no longer wants to be a key decision maker and believes the club should operate as a proper business - meaning they will have to generate their own transfer budget like most other clubs.
Abramovich has also insisted on a wage cap - meaning no new bumper deals for John Terry and Frank Lampard.
And that means Lampard could be heading off to the continent.
'Italian giants Juventus are leading the chase for Lampard after his contract negotiations with Chelsea reached deadlock' says the Daily Mirror.
'The England midfielder can leave Stamford Bridge this summer for a cut-price £9million under new FIFA rules.
'Lampard and his advisers want parity with Chelsea's top earners Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko, who are on £121,000 per week.
'Blues lynchpin Lampard, who is on £95,000 per week, made it clear after the FA Cup Final win over Manchester United that he wants to pledge the rest of his career to Chelsea - but the club are refusing to increase their offer.'
Chelski themselves are hoping to bring in three new players in the summer, but won't splash the cash on transfer fees as they have in the past.
Steve Sidwell has already joined on a free transfer from Reading with Claudio Pizarro of Bayern Munich set to do likewise, while Brazilian defender Alex will join from PSV in July for a fee of one dollar.
