The London team is attempting to force the 25-year-old to quit Stamford Bridge, which is why he was left out of the Blues’ preseason tour of America. Saha feels it is difficult to see the reasoning behind Chelsea’s transfer policy, according to Paddy Power:
“Chelsea has so many players, so many young players, and so many players trying to establish themselves and play regularly that it is very difficult to decide which players to let go of.” Chelsea’s approach is hard to follow, so from the outside it doesn’t make much sense, and the stability looks unstable, so I don’t know what is going on behind the scenes there. Although Trevor Chalobah is a talented and versatile player, he isn’t getting the consistent playing time and consistency he deserves at Chelsea right now.
Chalobah is thought to have a £30 million asking price from Chelsea, who want to get rid of him before the transfer market closes on August 30.
The official statement is that there are too many right-sided center backs for the Blues. Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, and Tosin Adarabioyo are among the other players in head coach Enzo Maresca’s side.
But the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability regulations are most likely the true cause. Selling Chalobah, an academy product, reduces pure profit on the balance sheet.
There are a lot of suitors for the center-half. Several teams have reportedly expressed interest in the player, including AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, West Ham, Manchester United, Newcastle, Fulham, and Crystal Palace.
Chalobah is rumored to be considering his choices and won’t be pressured to choose a team quickly.
