Juan Mata, Mohamed Salah, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku all found successes in different clubs after they departed Chelsea and the common name on the lips of critics was Jose Mourinho but it appears the problem runs way deeper than one man in charge.
The Blues have lived to regret the departures of these stars who shone for other clubs following their exits from Stamford Bridge. Salah is currently the Premier League’s best goal scorer but wears the Liverpool shirt, while De Bruyne pulls the strings in the middle of the park for Pep Guardiola who identified him as the juggernaut for his ruthless Manchester City side.
Right in the faces of Chelsea’s decision makers, these players are blossoming after being told they weren’t fit or cut for the Premier League and yet, another grave mistake is almost being made.
Sky Sports say Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are preparing to make an offer of £20m for the young English talent. What are they seeing in the 17-year old that Chelsea do not see?
