'Do you want to play 20 games a season?': Frank Leboeuf questions Mateo Kovacic's move to Man City

Si & Dan Talk Chelsea (via Express)

 for example? I don't think so. Do you want to play 20 games a season at Man City, or go to another team playing 50 games?

"I'll be sad to see him leave. When he came from

"I think he fought for the club. But the club has to reduce the squad and that is the process of it and you have to be ready to lose good players."

Man City are interested in signing Kovacic in the summer transfer window with the midfielder about to enter the final 12 months of his Stamford Bridge contract.

Chelsea are said to be willing to let the 28-year-old leave the club as they look to clear out the squad and comply with potential FFP complications next season.

"Everything is going towards the fact that after five good years, I will change clubs, but in football, anything can happen.

"Man City is a top team, they are deservedly in the final of the Champions League," he added. "I have nothing more to say on that topic, I don't know what will happen."

According to the latest reports, the midfielder has already agreed personal terms with Man City, but the clubs are yet to reach an agreement over the sale.

Kovacic would likely leave as a free agent next summer, so Chelsea need to sell now to avoid losing him for nothing.

Man City are reportedly in talks with Kovacic's representatives although the 2022/23 Premier League champions are yet to make an official approach.

The 29-year-old midfielder has entered the final year of his contract and Chelsea are looking to sell the player in order to comply with FFP rules next season.

Bro, Understand the Problem...

- Todd bought new players worth 600 Mil
- Everybody knows Chelsea has to comply to FFP.
- Other clubs see this as an opportunity to buy the best they see in less than decent money.
- Chelsea can't force any Club to buy the players which Chelsea want to sell.  
If you see what I am saying, all Big clubs will come for Big players offering less money and the ones we want to sell will still remain on payroll or sell them on peanuts...

So, now you understand this, Hope you understand what Todd Boehly has done to Chelsea... Chelsea is no more Chelsea

quite true, but half analysis. kovacic wants to leave, Chelsea was and is still ready to renew his contract. but the young man said he's not ready to go into any contract renewal negotiations with Chelsea he just wants to leave. if Chelsea refuse to sell the guy runs down his contract and leaves for free next season which is worse for Chelsea. No doubt Todd Boehly ND Co messed up big time, but he's realized his mistake and admitted it. This was a learning curve for them the Americans. Any player who can't commit now that Chelsea is going through this phase can leave. players whom they have told they should leave are sorting themselves out already for instance loftus cheek. only unambitious players will sit down on the bench without playing just to collect huge wages. Another thing is, the Americans are trying to trim down the wage bill of these players. Because it's just fucking too much. Even marina was try to do that, and that was Rudigers contract was not renewed and he left for free. A club like Bayern Munich is far more successful than Chelsea but they have a very streamlined and reasonable wage bill. they don't buy players at exorbitant prices or pay extra high wages. so any player who does not want to stay and is on a high wage can leave. we will get through this. we now have a competent coach, one or two experienced signings thus summer and we are ready. Good luck to the team next season.

is reducing the squad depth now mean Chelsea should allow all their best players to go? or is it the plan of those players to leave themselves? if yes, then something is wrong somewhere...

Give him what he demands coz they are already unhappy where they are and replace them with players who would like to play for the club all heartedly. We would like to appreciate them for all that they have done for great Che FC and wish them well where ever they go

Yunger Tuchel.

Those players who wants to play and die for the club should stay and those who want to leave can leave.players come and go we the supporters still remains
