After poor results, Mauricio Pochettino chooses the first to leave Chelsea in 2024

Chelsea FC's season seems to be destined once again for unexpected and, in some ways, disappointing results. The club had an important winter market, as well as the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, however, things have not gone in the best possible way. Despite this, the club is already beginning to work in the best possible way to reverse the situation and the first player who would leave the club is revealed.

In an unexpected move in the winter market, Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea's strategist, has expressly requested the sale of Benoit Badiashile. The French defender, signed last year from Monaco, has experienced a difficult journey since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are in a position of strength in any negotiations for Badiashile thanks to the solid contract they tied him to when they added him to their ranks. Despite the promise he showed during his time with Monaco, the French international has struggled to find his place in the starting lineup under Pochettino, according to CaughtOffisde.

Is there distrust in Pochettino on the part of Chelsea?

Things are not going the best for Pochettino, but it seems that the board's trust in the coach is complete and at the moment, his departure from the club is not considered. Contrary to that of some footballers who do not convince the coach or the board. Speculation over Badiashile's departure is intensified by his lack of minutes on the pitch and his apparent inability to adapt to Chelsea's style of play. However, the English media highlights the uncertainty regarding the viability of this transfer, given the long-term contract that links the young defender to the English club.
