Chelsea players will leave Stamford Bridge - Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United defender, has predicted that a number of Chelsea players, will leave this summer, as a result of the United Kingdom Government’s fine imposed on the club’s owner, Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea is paralyzed as a result of Abramovich’s censure, which prevents him from making the swift sale he desired.

With the Russian billionaire, who is the club’s main source of cash, out of the picture, the Blues will be unable to negotiate new contracts or resolve the fates of Chelsea players seeking salary increases or who have reached the end of their present contracts.

Manchester City and Real Madrid have already expressed interest in Reece James and other top players whom City manager Pep Guardiola is thought to see as a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker.

“If you go back to the Chelsea players, that uncertainty causes worry, fear, and not knowing is always the worst-case scenario, and that’s where these players are,” Ferdinand told BT Sport.

“There will be players there who are nearing the end of their contracts.”

“That could be a driver for a mass exodus of players who are saying we are potentially losing our best players, we could’ve re-signed, but now they’ve gone. I can’t commit to this, I want three or five years of certainty rather than looking at this thinking, what if this goes to litigation over the next few years, where do we sit with it all.

“There are so many questions and it makes it difficult to really want to commit to a situation like that.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
