Chelsea FC is living through one of the worst seasons in the last two decades, in which they fail to achieve good results in the Premier League, they have invested hundreds of millions of dollars that seem to have had no effect and now several of their players seem not to want to continue at the club for the next season.
As reported by the newspaper ‘The Athletic’, a total of nine first-team players are not happy with the management of the current management and are considering requesting their departure from the team at the end of this season, part of it motivated by not having managed to qualify for the next edition of the Champions League.
Another of the points that these players are dissatisfied with is the lack of a clear sports project, something that is evidenced in the constant change of coaches, remembering that Thomas Tuchel started, was replaced by Graham Potter and now Franck Lampard is there as interim.
The aforementioned source indicates that several of the players are sorry for having renewed their contracts with the arrival of the new owner Todd Bohely, who invested more than $600 million dollars in signings of a few players who have not contributed anything to change the situation of the team. .
With six days left to finish the Premier League campaign, the London team is in position number 12, 14 points behind the positions that qualify for a European competition such as the Europa League or Conference League.
Likewise, it is important to note that the players have a clause in their contracts, which indicates that, if they do not qualify for any European competition, 30% of their salaries will be reduced, something that would not only affect two or three figures from the template.
Although ‘The Athletic’ did not reveal the names of the players who plan to leave Chelsea, it is likely that the club will seek to leave some pieces such as N’Golo Kanté, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ruben Loftus -Cheek, among others.
