Marin, 27, arrived at Stamford Bridge amid much fanfare in 2012. The Blues splashed a reported £6.5 million to secure the services of the diminutive German from Werder Bremen.
What followed was a succession of loan spells, injuries, and unfulfilled potential.
Marin, who can also operate as a central attacking midfielder, made a mere 16 appearances for Chelsea after his move to west London, scoring once. In total, he earned just 143 Premier League minutes over four years.
The majority of his time with the club saw him shipped off across Europe, spending loan stints with Sevilla, Fiorentina, Anderlecht and Trabzonspor.
Once considered a leading figure amid an explosion of young German talent, Marin hasn't been capped by the national team since 2010.
