Chelsea’s left-back Ian Maatsen appears to be heading towards a future away from Stamford Bridge following his recent loan move to Borussia Dortmund. Despite signing a new contract with Chelsea before his departure in January, it seems likely that Maatsen will be leaving the club in the near future. Maatsen has had a promising start at Dortmund, but there are concerns about the Bundesliga team’s ability to afford his £35million release clause, which is open to all clubs and not exclusive to Dortmund.
Chelsea have attracted significant interest in Maatsen, presenting a potentially lucrative opportunity for the club to make a substantial profit from his sale this summer. It appears unlikely that Maatsen will have a future under Mauricio Pochettino, and it remains to be seen if this decision will come back to haunt the club. History has shown the consequences of Chelsea’s past mistakes in letting talented youngsters like Mohamed Salah, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku leave, and it is possible that Maatsen possesses a similar level of potential.
