Romano confirms Chelsea will get exciting star to signed up at Stamford Bridge
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirms that Chelsea are looking to get one exciting player signed up in the next months.
As we know, The Blues have most of their current squad signed up to long contracts right now and there are only a couple of players really who are on short contracts.
The two main ones are Conor Gallagher and Ian Maatsen. It has been revealed today that Chelsea have made use of an option to extend Maatsen’s contract by another year, with his current deal ending in 2024.
So now Chelsea have triggered the option and Maatsen stays at the club until at least 2025, this has given Chelsea more time to decide what they are going to do, and Maatsen himself to decide what he wants to do.
Fabrizio Romano says that Chelsea are still keen to extend Maatsen onto a longer deal, but as of now it doesn’t seem like any progress has been made with that.
???????? Chelsea have activated a clause into Ian Maatsen’s contract to extend his deal until June 2025.#CFC wanted to avoid free exit for the fullback as @NizaarKinsella reported.
