THREE CHELSEA Flops has left Stamford Bridge to Morning to Join Premier League Giants as Boehly plans take shape
Chelsea FC has experienced considerable upheaval over the past two years. Last summer, several notable players, including N’Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, departed from Stamford Bridge. Despite this extensive turnover in the squad, the team’s performance has seen only marginal improvement, moving from a 10th place finish in 2023 to securing sixth place last season.
As the current season unfolds, there remains the potential for substantial changes. However, only a few players have officially been announced as leaving the team this summer. Among these departures, one stands out not only for the player’s on-field contributions but also for the void he leaves within the team.
In May, Thiago Silva declared his intention to leave West London to return to Brazil, where he would rejoin Fluminense, the club he played for before moving to Milan in 2009. Silva’s departure is significant, especially considering his commendable performance last season despite the defense’s injury challenges. His ability to manage the game’s demands so effectively is a testament to his professionalism, and his absence will be keenly felt both on and off the field, as he often captained the team.
Additionally, young right-backs Josh Brooking and Noah Hay have announced their exits, with their contracts concluding today. This development leaves the Champions League winner with only three confirmed departures so far.
However, more departures could occur in the coming weeks. Players like Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah are attracting interest from various clubs. With Gallagher’s contract set to expire in a year, the club faces a decision to either sell him or extend his contract, as they are unlikely to allow him to leave on a free transfer.
In summary, while Chelsea FC has already seen some key players leave, the potential for further changes remains. The team’s management must navigate these transitions carefully to ensure continued progress and stability.
