The wait for a new owner at Chelsea is nearly over, as the club's lengthy sales process has already selected the Todd Boehly consortium as the most preferred bidder, with the Todd Boehly consortium expected to complete the takeover of the club within the next few weeks, subject to approval from the UK government and Premier League authorities.With new owners in place, one of their first priorities at the club will be to offer improved and extended contract deals to key squad players in order to keep them at the club for a long time and avoid another situation where top players leave on a free transfer, such as Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who are both set to leave Chelsea after their contracts expire at the end of this season.
Some Chelsea players will have one year left on their contracts at the end of this season, meaning they will be free agents at the end of next season if their current contract is not extended. Chelsea may need to offer some players new contracts if their current contracts are not extended.Thiago Silva, Ngolo Kante, Jorginho, Marcos Alonso, and Ross Barkley are among the Chelsea players whose current contracts will end in 2023.
In this piece, we'll look at three Chelsea players who could be granted new contracts after the club's takeover is finalized.
ReeceJames is number one.
Reece James is one of Europe's most promising young players, and his remarkable performances for Chelsea have earned him accolades from elite players, coaches, and fans.
James is now one of Chelsea's lowest-paid players, with his current deal expiring in 2025.
Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing the 22-year-old defender and aim to entice him away from Chelsea with a lucrative wage deal if he joins them.To fight off Real Madrid's attention, Chelsea may have little choice but to offer the winger a new and improved contract at the club.
Ngolo Kante is number two on the list.
The French midfielder is nearing the end of his career and is already 31 years old. Chelsea has a policy of not offering long-term contracts to players over the age of 30, but that policy may change now that new owners have taken over.
Ngolo Kante's current Chelsea deal expires at the conclusion of the season, although he may still be a key player for the club for another two to three years. Ngolo Kante might be given a two- or three-year contract by Chelsea's new owners.
