Arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2020, Edouard Mendy could be forced to leave the club next summer. And for good reason, the struggling London club could lose its license to play in the Premier League. This should force the Senegalese and almost all players to seek a favorable outcome following their careers.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was forced out of the club at the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The Russian oligarch, close to the President of the Russian Federation, is not welcome in London. The latter therefore put the club up for sale. But since then, no buyer has managed to afford the reigning European champions club. This situation prevents the smooth running of club activities. The football authorities have taken some action against the team. However, Chelsea keep their license to play in the Premier League until May 31, 2022. What will happen after this date?
Chelsea threatened with an exit from the English Premier League
The waiver for Chelsea to play in the English Premier League is three weeks away from expiring. If the club is not sold before this deadline, the activities within the London team should stop and the club should no longer exercise in the Premier League, informs the Daily Mail. The sale of the club would be delayed by former president Roman Abramovich. If the selling price is estimated at a little over three billion, potential buyers come up against a difficulty.
The club owes 1.8 billion euros to the wealthy Russian businessman. The latter, who had declared that he wanted to waive this debt, would have changed his mind according to The Times. He would like his money back, which would include that amount in the sale amount. Far too expensive for potential buyers who might turn around
What future for Edouard Mendy and his teammates?
If no solution is found, next June 8 will be decisive for the future of the club. A meeting of Premier League leaders takes place. At this meeting, it will be decided whether or not to extend Chelsea’s license. In the latter case, players will therefore be forced to look for new clubs next summer. Which could lead Edouard Mendy to look elsewhere. But what destination for the last bastion of the Lions of Teranga?
