Chelsea unlikely to swoop for De Bruyne this summer | OneFootball

Chelsea will not make a transfer move for midfielder Kevin De Bruyne when he leaves Manchester City this summer, according to the Telegraph.

They will not offer him a deal, even though the club needs experience.

Chelsea have the youngest squad in the Premier League and the second youngest in Europe this season. That inexperience has reared its head in their inconsistency.

Manager Enzo Maresca wants more players who can handle the pressure of playing for the club.

They reportedly explored a deal for Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk before he signed a new contract. Chelsea were linked with a similar move for De Bruyne, but he is not a target.

Moves for Ollie Watkins, Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane are also non-starters.

De Bruyne would be an ideal signing for Chelsea

In a summer where De Bruyne is available for free, Chelsea will once again chase shadows.

The club is doubling down on past blunders, throwing money at untested prospects such as Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap.

The club’s sporting structure is obsessed with potential over pragmatism.

De Bruyne would walk into the team, lift standards in training, add creativity and actually teach this talented squad how to win.

Instead, Chelsea will embark on another transfer window of teenage experiments and empty talk about long-term visions while the present burns in plain sight.

Chelsea are so deep in their data-driven fantasy that they have forgotten football is won by men, not boys.

Until someone at the top wakes up and smells the coffee, Chelsea fans will continue to suffer through one avoidable disaster after another.
