Chukwuemeka, Chilwell, and Casadei Set to Leave Chelsea in January Over Game Time
Three Chelsea players are reportedly planning to leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window, according to trusted football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Sharing the update on X (formerly Twitter), Romano named Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, and Cesare Casadei as players considering moves away from Stamford Bridge due to limited playing opportunities under manager Enzo Maresca.
The lack of consistent playing time has been a major frustration for these players. Carney Chukwuemeka, a highly-rated young midfielder, joined Chelsea from Aston Villa with great promise but has struggled to cement a regular spot in the team.
Similarly, Ben Chilwell, a former Leicester City star and England international, has faced challenges staying fit and competing for minutes in a squad stacked with defensive talent.
Cesare Casadei, an exciting Italian prospect, has found himself on the fringes and is yet to make a significant impact at the club.
Romano hinted that a move to Serie A is the most likely option for Casadei, with several Italian clubs already expressing interest in signing the talented youngster.
Casadei, who joined Chelsea from Inter Milan in 2022, may find a return to Italy a more fitting environment to develop his game and get regular minutes on the pitch.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
