Chelsea could be about to fall upon hard times due to their upcoming transfer ban
It’s no secret that Chelsea have been inconsistent this season under Maurizio Sarri, but even if the Italian manager finally steadies the ship and begins to mould the side into his image, he could be about to run into another tsunami next season as the club’s transfer ban – assuming it’s held up by FIFA – will kick in during the summer’s transfer window.

That means that not only will loanees Mateo Kovacic and Gonzalo Higuain likely return to their parent clubs, but Sarri also won’t be able to bring aboard any new talent – outside of Christian Pulisic, who has already signed with the club.
And while Chelsea do have plenty of talent stockpiled to make this issue a little less painful, it might be the case that Hazard simply isn’t willing to carry the club through what could well be a tough period.

A team full of youngsters like Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ethan Ampadu and Tammy Abraham would definitely be an intriguing prospect, but for Hazard – who is used to playing alongside proven world-class internationals – it may not be enough, particularly if he’s got the Ballon d’Or in his sights in the near future.
Even hardcore Chelsea fans would probably be able to see the justification for a Hazard move under these circumstances.
