Chelsea will return to the pitch for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Dario Essugo this summer after making an offer in the January transfer window.
The Blues have made no moves in this transfer window, focusing on offloading unused players, although they have brought in young midfielder Matis Amuku สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน from Saint-Etienne, who is likely to be a player for the future.
Reports from Portuguese media have revealed that in the last 48 hours of the winter market, Chelsea tried to reach an agreement with Sporting to acquire Essugo without the player being unable to join the team immediately because he has played for the club, including being on loan at Las Palmas and playing for the team in Spain.
However, Essugo is not interest in negotiating at the moment and would rather focus on this season. Given FIFA’s rules on foreign loan deals, signing Essuko would be restrict unless he spends next season in English football, be it at Chelsea or another club.
Essugo may well blossom into a star, but his acquisition feels like a band-aid on a gaping wound, a consequence of terrible squad management that leaves Chelsea vulnerable and their already overburdened manager with even more headaches.
This chaotic approach to team building is unsustainable. Unless a serious overhaul of the backroom operations occurs, Chelsea risk squandering their vast resources and condemning themselves to perpetual mediocrity.
