Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = Chelsea, who strengthened their squad through storm signings during the transfer market this winter, are now starting to release. First, striker Hakim Ziyech (29) is likely to be parted. It is reported that they will start discussions to let him go, who has received ‘love calls’ from various places.
Reporter Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European football transfer market, said on social network service (SNS) on the 23rd (Korean time), “Chelsea will start discussing the transfer of Ziyech as expected.” Clubs in other leagues are eager to sign him on the last day of the transfer window.”
Chelsea have six new players signed this month. They signed Benoit Badiacil (21), David Dartro Popana (20), Andrei Santos (18), Mihailo Mudrik (22) and Noni Madueke (20), and brought in João Felix (23) on loan. The amount spent in this process alone is a whopping 178.5 million euros (approximately 240 billion won), based on the transfer market specialized media ‘Transfermarkt’. 먹튀검증
It is good that the squad has been strengthened across all positions amid sluggish performance, but on the other hand, there are ‘problems’. If the injured return one or two, it is highly likely that the players will accumulate dissatisfaction over the playing time, and the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) knockout stage stage squad registration will become complicated. As a result, Chelsea started working on release with less than 15 days left before the deadline for the winter transfer window, and as the first target, they picked Ziyech, who is receiving attention from various clubs.
Ziyech wore a Chelsea shirt in the summer of 2020 after rising to the heights at Ajax (Netherlands). He just couldn’t show the performance as before after the transfer. Although he was often intimidating with his decisive kick, he had trouble adapting to the rough and fast tempo typical of the EPL. Thomas Tuchel (49, Germany) In the former manager system, there were times when he was thoroughly ignored because he did not fit the tactics.
In the end, Ziyech has been pushing for his transfer since last year, dissatisfied with his life at Chelsea. However, he remained because he could not reach an amicable agreement during the negotiation process, and the situation did not change much this season. Experts analyze that although they are receiving opportunities to play as recent injuries occur one after another, they cannot be seen as a clear starter.
