What’s the story? Yeah, since when do Chelsea loan players again? Barcelona rate Deulofeu as their next big superstar but loaning him to a team competing for the Champions League? Is he going to play all the time? Much better off going to a good La Liga or Premier League team like a Swansea, West Brom, Real Betis type. Everton could make sense possibly.
Does it make sense? They do need him to play every week, so loaning him to a club where that isn’t guaranteed isn’t going to happen.
Is the price right? Great value for a season for a medium sized club.
Will it happen? 0/10 – A big club 9/10 – Medium sized.
