"Don't believe!" Florent Malouda reveals why Chelsea are selling their top talents to rival clubs.

 Transfer: Malouda reveals why Chelsea are selling top stars to rival clubs.

Former Chelsea star Florent Malouda has stated his view on why top players are leaving Chelsea this summer.

The former France international said that the club are selling ‘better’ players to rival clubs because those players do not believe in the vision and project under Todd Boehly.

Jorginho joined Arsenal in January, while Mateo Kovacic just joined Premier League team Manchester City, and Kai Havertz has signed for north London side, Arsenal. 

The Blues are having a clearance sale this summer as they attempt to comply with Financial Fair Play and avoid sanctions from football authorities.

N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly have already left the Stamford Bridge outfit for Saudi Pro League clubs, and more are to follow.

Manchester United have signed Mason Mount while Hakim Ziyech is also expected to leave.

“Chelsea didn’t sell players to rivals under Roman Abramovich for one simple reason: the club was very competitive,” Malouda told Genting Casino.

“Players wanted to stay because there was a winning mentality—Chelsea were always competing for the biggest prizes.

“What we’re seeing at the moment, selling players to rivals, isn’t solely to do with FFP; this is because the players that are going to move on don’t really believe in what is happening at the club.”

OUR VIEW: 

Florent Malouda may have a point. We saw Kai Havertz move to Chelsea's London rivals, Arsenal; and Kovacic leaving for Manchester City. Mason Mount left for Manchester United and it just clearly shows how these players are interested in the project these already flourishing teams have and do not believe in the current long-term project of Todd Boehly and Mauricio Pochettino. 

With so many fresh legs coming in, it remains to be seen how successful Todd Boehly's project will turn out.

CONFIRMED: Todd Boehly finally decides on FIVE players who will be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer.

 Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players.  Since taking over as Co-owner of Chelsea, it has not clicked for Todd Boehly despite splashing the cash to sign some of the big names in world football.  Consecutive run of losses and sloppy display from players are two core reasons the Blues will be considering a squad overhaul this summer, and five players will be offloaded. According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.
