Disappointing lack of news regarding Malang Sarr. £120k pw wages are absolute madness - he'll not earn anywhere close to that elsewhere. We're giving him away for free and still nobody is interested.

Yeah the loan limits, and that we could not offload Lukaku and Zyiech and had to loan them, leave him stuck.

He may well end up like Bogarde.

Not long left in the window, hopefully a few Sales left to go that don't involve Gallagher.

How many years left on contract

We'll be looking at a Bakayoko-style contract cancellation I reckon ...

Until 2025.

 

Can't see him rotting away until then. If he doesn't go today I'd anticipate he goes in Jan.

Yet another Marina disasterclass.

Maybe some Saudi club will take Malang Sarr for free and takeover his 2 year, 120k PW contract - it's chump change to them and he's a Muslim after all, which the Saudis seem to like.

In fairness to Sarr if I was him I would 100% be seeing out this stupid contract I shouldn’t be on

You're right, Winston.

If true I don't like the club going back on an agreement twice like that, is not how business should be conducted imo.

They should have arrived at the final point immediately. You want the move, you agree to wave the remaining money in your contract to get it. Don't want to so that, then see out your deal.

We did something similar with Lukaku, agee to sign a new deal on reduced wages that Roma can pay in full, or rot here.

Sarr ultimately made a bad approach to start off with this move as well, asking the club to pay him out in full and let him go. Likely pi$$Ed them off, and we see the result.

He's been a very expensive "free" transfer.

We don't even know those reports are true. It seems very odd if it is.

So, agree to mutual termination and move to Le Havre, what's the problem?

Why would he give up millions of pounds that the club promised him lmao? No person is giving up generational wealth for free. 

They did the same with Mount, agreeing a deal then going back and trying to low ball after the agreement. 

The upper management at Chelsea are embarrassing us constantly.

I wouldn't give that up but just responding to the report that his friends are worried about him etc. Simple solution - mutual termination and go play football. Kid can't have it both ways.

Malang Sarr is a case study for anybody telling us how great our transfer business was under Marina. I can't even be mad at Sarr because he's earning way above his worth for doing nothing.

I want to know the logic behind giving Sarr £120kpw and constantly renewing Bakayoko and Batshuayi's contracts.

I can only assume with the latter it was the hope that they would perform well elsewhere and we can recoup some of the money we lost. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. 

Malang Sarr? Who's this? 

Absolute lunacy to offer him £120K a week when he was on £10K at Nice ...

So that's two free transfers on one experienced defender, and one defender with a lot of potential. That's excellent business that. 

Honestly, we should be looking to get rid of Christensen and Rudiger at this point. 

Ayooooooooooo 😁 🤣 😭

Doesn't that Wahi we were after last summer play for Lens too? Could throw Sarr in as a makeweight.

For Sarr's sake I hope he gets a new club. Wikipedia (I know...) says last season he's been training with the under-21s. Must have been tough for him. 

I do keep his case in mind when we're buying so many so-called promising youngsters. If I remember correctly,  that was the reason we bought Sarr. No guarantees whatsoever, that much is clear.
