Here we go, Ian Maatsen officially moved from Chelsea to Aston Villa, Aston Villa only pays 44.5 Million Euros to get him. Although Chelsea has too many players especially in defending positions, but I didn't expect they would sell Maatsen instead of other players.
Malang Sarr, Axel Disasi, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile are players that I speculate to leave Chelsea, those four France players are worse than Ian Maatsen.
What the hell!!! I never expected him to join Aston Villa, but several reports said he was extremely close to Dortmund. And Dortmund appeared unable to meet Chelsea's request for 44.5 million euros. Matseen is reportedly close to joining Dortmund as a permanent player, but due to Chelsea's asking price, The deal between Dortmund and Chelsea most likely collapsed.
I'd rather speculate on Levy Colwill's departure from Chelsea than those players (Saar, Badiashile, Disasi, and Fofana). As far as I can tell you, Levy Colwill has been given the green light to join Bayern Munich.
I would name Colwill as the next back to depart from Chelsea very soon. Bayern Munich expressed an interest in recruiting him. Finally, I completely agree that Maatsen is better than those four defenders (Saar, Badiashile, Disasi, and Fofana).
Though it saddens me seeing him maatsen leave Chelsea, because I initially thought that due to his performance at borussia dortmund he would be given a chance when he returns, but it wasn't meant to be, and another thing that surprised me was him moving to this Aston villa instead of borussia dortmund, though it was obvious that borussia dortmund doesn't have the financial power as Aston villa to push this particular deal through, but it's a very good signing for aston villa, because he is actually going to improve their left back position.
And talking of the potential departure of most of Chelsea lads, i think the players that are very much likely to leave the club are colwill, badiashile, malaam sarr, broja, and choloba, but it really saddens me seeing cholaba on that list, because I believe that he is still very good, and he was definitely our best defender last season when Mauricio pochettino started using him, so I don't know why they are even thinking of selling him, because as for me, he is way better than all the current central backs at Chelsea right now that Thiago Silva has left the club.
