“I want him” “But this is what happened” – Enzo Maresca finally reveals who to blame for shock Conor Gallagher Chelsea exit
Surprisingly, Chelsea has decided to let go of midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Under Mauricio Pochettino, Gallagher was a vital member of Chelsea’s squad who participated in nearly every match during the previous campaign.
Why Chelsea would want to offload its now-essential academy player would seem to be a mystery.
Many football experts have said that the sale of Conor Gallagher was stupid, but Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has provided some clarification.
Maresca has however slammed the Premier League’s rules, which is forcing Chelsea to sell home-grown players.
“In this moment, there is something between the club and the player; an agreement to stay or to leave,” said Maresca about Gallagher.
“These kinds of things happen in every club, every summer and in the end the final decision will be good for everyone. Hopefully the final decision will be good for Conor and the club.”
On Chelsea selling so many academy players, he added: “But this is not Chelsea’s problem, these are the rules. All the clubs at this moment are compelled to sell players from the academy because of the rules. It’s all of the Premier League clubs’ problems.”
