Two women's players make Chelsea proud at 2023 The Best FIFA awards
According to Get French Football News on Twitter (h/t Daily Star), a Chelsea player’s agent has expressed his displeasure towards the United Kingdom Government for their sanctions on Roman Abramovich that affects the club’s transfer business. The club chief suffered this setback on Thursday morning, which has led to uncertainty surrounding the club’s future prospects.
The UK Government has frozen Abramovich’s assets in England, including the Blues. The club has been imposed with several restrictions. This prevents them from buying and selling players in the upcoming transfer windows. Moreover, ticket sales and contract related activities are also prohibited at this stage.
The agent representing a French-speaking player at Chelsea has conveyed his discontent on the matter and has questioned the restrictions. He has hinted that it appears to be the players who will be most impacted by this decision.
“How can they ban the club from selling players? Surely there are employment law implications for players who were due to leave now essentially being trapped?”
Restrictions like these could derail our transfer business next summer, severely impacting Thomas Tuchel. Unfortunately, the reality of the matter is that this situation could severely hamper the Blues’ ambitions on the field now and also in the months or years to come.
Positions like the wingbacks need to be bolstered at the end of this season, which would be impossible under the current circumstances. Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta are in the final year of their respective contracts, and we are unable to renew their deals as it stands.
As such, Abramovich and the club must do everything possible to find a solution to these issues. Failure to do so could cause further troubles in the future. Unrest and disruption of harmony could be among the potential problems that could unravel if there are players who have plans to leave Stamford Bridge next summer.
Such players are “trapped” at the West London club, as the agent mentioned, due to these restrictions, which does not help the club or their players in any way. These problems could seep into the performances on the pitch as well,leading to a volatile environment on the pitch.
Only time will give us an answer about what lies in store for us in the next few weeks. We are hopeful that the club can find a way to get through these hardships and turn things back to normal at the earliest. Whether that will be the case or not would need to be seen in due time.
