“Chelsea Crisis: Players Regretting Long-Term Contracts – The Athletic Report”

Chelsea, despite the big investment made in the last two transfer windows, including the signing of Enzo Fernández from Benfica, is going through a huge crisis of results, occupying the 12th position, with 39 points, but also at an economic level it has already experienced better days.

According to The Athleticthere are nine players who are regretting signing long-term contracts with Chelsea and are threatening to force their way out in the summer.

According to the same source, which does not reveal names, footballers feel deceived by Todd Boehly, owner of Londoners, who promised an exciting project at the time of negotiations, something that is far from happening. The problem is that the signed contracts, like that of Enzo Fernández, until 2031, mean that Chelsea have the power to decide the future of the athletes, despite the fact that some players have already begun to show their willingness to leave blues.

Adding to that, the The Athletic advances that the non-qualification for the Champions League next season will mean that players, who had bonus contracts related to European competitions, receive a lower salary, which could translate into a decrease of practically 50 percent in some cases .
