Chelsea’s present homeowners don’t care about profitable the Premier League and can money in on a star participant like Cole Palmer in the event that they get the chance.
That’s in response to former Blues defender Frank Leboeuf, who insists that Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali solely care about earning money.
Chelsea have been massively profitable beneath earlier proprietor Roman Abramovich, however the membership have gone in a slightly totally different course since Boehly and Eghbali took over.
Chelsea now primarily give attention to signing the sport’s finest younger gamers as a substitute of the ready-made stars wanted to win main trophies.
Palmer has been one of many huge success tales of this present possession, however Leboeuf thinks the England worldwide might go away for the correct provide.
Worrying Cole Palmer switch declare made by former Chelsea star
“You wish to know the place the membership stands, however at current their solely goal is to earn a living out of the gamers they’ve purchased,” Leboeuf advised the Metro.
“Positive, they offer huge, lengthy contracts for younger gamers but when they’ll make a revenue, then they’ll promote them. That’s the objective. Cole Palmer, who was purchased for £40m, could possibly be offered for 120 or 130 million in the summertime in the event that they obtained a suggestion. I feel they’ll take the cash and purchase two youthful gamers.
“The objective is to not be champions of England, the objective is to not be within the Champions League, it’s to earn a living out of the gamers that they’ve purchased.”
That is actually a worrying declare if it’s correct, as Chelsea followers have gotten used to profitable main trophies and gained’t wish to simply turning into a promoting membership.
Groups like Brighton have achieved effectively in latest instances to make huge income on gifted younger gamers, however CFC gained’t wish to find yourself being a stepping stone workforce like that, even when it’s worthwhile.
