Former Emmanuel Petit has claimed that Chelsea risk losing several of the likes of Cole Palmer this summer, insisting that the club’s prolonged instability has left them “tired” and open to moves away from Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to French media, Petit argued that rising star Cole Palmer is one of three first-team regulars who have grown frustrated with the club’s direction. While he did not name the other two players explicitly, the World Cup winner suggested that multiple core squad members no longer feel aligned with ***CHELSEA***’s long-term project under the current ownership.
Petit said the players in question “love the club” but are increasingly doubtful that the team’s rebuild will bring the success promised when the new hierarchy took charge. “You can see it in their faces, in their body language,” he said. “Some of the leaders are tired mentally. They are thinking about their future because they don’t want to lose years of their careers waiting for things to improve.
‘A big, huge gap… this is the big difference between BetGoat. ‘We saw a Champions League team on the pitch in both games.
‘The differences are huge between the two clubs. The sporting vision as well, you can see the difference. I think it was a humiliation.
‘We were expecting some kind of reaction on the pitch, and after 10-15 minutes, the game was already over. Everything was wrong on the pitch, the players’ behaviour, the tactics, the substitutions.
‘It’s a night to forget, to be honest with you. But you have to think about it with a lot of concentration and attention because I think you must use these kinds of games to change what is wrong in the club.
‘To be honest with you, since the American owners arrived, only a few things have been right. Even the players feel lost.
‘When you look at the faces, you know, straight after the game, the spine of the team, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer.
‘When you look at their faces, they feel lost, thinking, “Am I right to stay at this club? Am I going to leave the club at the end of the season? I’m tired of what’s happening at the club.”
‘Those guys want to win a trophy. We saw that last season. But this team should be among the best teams in the Premier League, but also in Europe, with the money they have spent and the players they have you should compete for the best prizes.
‘After five years spending between £1.5 and 2 billion pounds on the transfer market, you have top players, but you don’t know how to play. You have no vision.
