Chelsea needs to make decisions on 2024 contracts now

We have seen a 

reflected the last couple of seasons develop at Chelsea where we are looking at 

similar contract situations.

Last summer we spent the whole season admiring whether Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen were going to sign new agreements or not. And these were two players playing usually in our starting line-up, and the condition was bound to 

influence them on the pitch, I don’t care what anyone says.

This season, we have the same condition but in midfield, with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante having agreements running out in June 2023. Again, this cannot be a good condition for anyone, and truly, it should have been sorted out one way or the other sooner.

This is why Chelsea should make a clear conclusion on our 2024 agreement group right now, or at least as soon as 

feasible. If we want to expand contracts for any of the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic, and Mason Mount, then we should be in talks now and getting those contracts sealed. But if we are not going to extend them, then we need to resolve this now and sell these players either in January or during the season.

Otherwise, we face more conditions like we have seen the last two seasons, and too much 

unreliability and unresolved players. We also get good value for these players still if we sell them in January or the season, rather than waiting.

I’m not here to discuss who we should

expand and who we shouldn’t extend right now, but I am saying we need to make consultations on them all now and resolve whether we want to open contract augmentation talks or not, it will help them all conjointly moving forward.
