Chelsea have a serious problem in the squad. Because they have many players on the roster, and there are few who are managing to meet expectations. So Todd Boehly hopes to release all the pieces that do not fit into Enzo Maresca’s plans, and have already been included in the discard list. And among the teams to which these footballers have been offered is Atlético de Madrid, who has an interesting opportunity to strengthen the team.
To be more exact, there are two stars who have been placed on the table, Enrique Cerezo and Diego Pablo Simeone, although both have been instantly ruled out. Yes, they signed Conor Gallagher a few months ago, but they are not interested in another player from the London club. And the first to be rejected is Carney Chukwuemeka, who was considered one of the most promising talents in English football.
Carney Chukwuemeka/Chelsea
He trained at Aston Villa, and even played in the first team, motivating the Blues to pay almost 20 million euros for his services when he was a youth player. An investment that has never been amortized, since it has not had the progression that was expected. His participation so far has been non-existent, and he has only played 14 minutes between all competitions. But at the Civitas Metropolitano they have responded with a resounding ‘no’.
They will not make any attempt for the 20-year-old midfielder, nor for Benoit Badiashile, another footballer who does not have the confidence of Maresca and who has been ostracized this campaign. Yes, he has had more participation than his teammate, but playing in the Conference League and Carabao Cup matches, which are totally inconsequential, since in the Premier League he has not yet been able to play a single minute.
Benoit Badiashile/ AS Mónaco
In your case, They paid almost 40 million euros to AS Monaco a couple of years ago, and it is another of the operations that have not worked at Stamford Bridge.
Simeone does not want to know anything about Badiashile or Chukwuemeka
Despite the obvious problems that the red and white entity has in some positions, especially in the rearguard, Simeone does not want to know absolutely anything about Badiashile or Chukwuemeka.
Therefore, andChelsea will have to look for other buyers for them, and forget about Atleti.
