Everyone wants to run away from Chelsea

The weeks follow each other and look alike for Chelsea since the start of the season. After the evictions of Thomas Tuchel and then Graham Potter, Frank Lampard is breaking records for mediocrity for his return to the club as an interim. If Mauricio Pochettino is tipped to take over, the Argentinian would recover a team not qualified for the European Cup in addition to having an increasingly complicated locker room to manage. After two completely surreal transfer windows and more than €600 million spent, 30 players make up an increasingly unmanageable locker room.

Between a management with decisions that are difficult to read and the waltz of the coaches, the players seem lost both internally and on the field. Most are worried about the future, especially as a new transfer window is approaching. Some whose end of contract is approaching will not be kept, even invited to leave like Cesar Azpilicueta, Édouard Mendy or Thiago Silva. Kanté must extend but it is still not signed which arouses the interests of other clubs. But there is worse. According to The Athleticnew recruits and players with longer contracts also want to leave.

Some recruits already want to leave

They find that the promises made when they signed are not kept and they regret having joined the Blues. Summer recruits are particularly worried to have seen the locker room grow at high speed this winter (not to mention the return of certain loans). Inevitably, their playing time has suffered and without the European Cup next year, there will be fewer opportunities to play. They were told to be “the key to an exciting new project” but find in the end that they have not had much playing time. It would also have damaged the atmosphere of the dressing room.

For the English media, several players from the first team have expressed their concerns to management, while others have outright asked to leave the club this summer. Problem, they are blocked by their long-term contract (between 2028 and 2031 for the most part), which will not facilitate their transfer. Mauricio Pochettino has not yet packed his bags that he is already faced with a problem, to know who will still be there next season, and who will still have the lead at the Blues after a completely failed season from start to finish.
