There are some big decisions to make at Chelsea over the coming months, and one of them involves keeping or letting go of loan players.
The club have two players currently on loan, Joao Felix and Denis Zakaria, one of which scored yesterday and showed some real magic.
Zakaria has been injured for a while, but he was also looking good before that.
Chelsea have not yet made any decisions on whether they will be using the option to buy Zakaria this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano speaking in his exclusive Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside.
Romano says that Chelsea wont make a decision just yet, and that will come in April or May time, with Juventus waiting for Chelsea to decide.
The player himself though, would like to stay at Chelsea.
“Chelsea have not made any decision,” Romano said. “It’s up to Chelsea as they have a buy option clause close to €30m, but this kind of decision will be made in April/May and not now.
“Juventus are still waiting for Chelsea to decide, the player would love to stay but it’s up to the club.”
I personally feel a lot will come down to how he plays from now until then, and if he gets good game time.
