Mount is a good footballer. He’ll be moving to a top club of leaving Chelsea. Bayern don’t really need them though with Musiala doing what he is there.
Chelsea will annoyingly collect a tonne in fee’s this window. Good ages mostly and known quality, all of their players will likely be courted by PL sides who will be happy forking out for them.
Mount
Gallagher
Lofters Cheek
Pulisic
Ziyech
Broja
You think Pulisic and Broja don’t have a market in the PL? Broja was very good at Southampton and teams are all desperate for good attacking players. Pulisic as well still only 24 would be surprised if he’s not getting picked up for a decent fee.
Broja had a very serious injury. Doubt any club will be paying Chelsea big sums for him anytime soon.
Pulisic is a top earner which will make moving him on complicated. He’s also known to have a pretty big idea of himself so expect him to be very picky on the kind of club he’ll want to join.
I’m skeptical about how much they can get for Loftus-Cheek as well. He is 27, never played 2000 league minutes in a season, on wages (reported from 120-150k per week) that would make him a top earner at most PL clubs, and only has one year left on his contract. Some midtable clubs might be interested but only at a very good price for them.
IMO, the reason they are looking to sell Mount is that everybody else other than Gallagher is pretty complicated to sell and/or won’t bring in a substantial fee.
From who? Who is going to pay a ton of money for these guys?
Pulisic? Decent talent but he’s made of glass.
Mount? He’s not a footballer, he’s a cross country runner.
Gallagher? Looks like Palace might have been his true level.
Ziyech? Lol.
RLC? Double lol.
Broja? Nope.
The wishcasting from their supporters that they’ll raise 150m or 200m from sales is ridiculous. Even if a team wanted Pulisic (for example) he’d still have to agree to a likely wage cut. No wonder Clearlake and Boehly floated the idea of trades. It’s how baseball owners wriggle out from under bad deals.
I’m looking forward to seeing Chelsea low balled over the summer and the eventual financial crisis that will transpire over the following years that will see the club continue to decline.
Chelsea will comfortably get £60-70m from Mount and Gallagher alone. I’d imagine Ziyech, Broja and RLC could collect another £50m between the three of them at a minimum.
