Romano lifts lid on ‘big blow’ for Chelsea as director snubs club after being ‘ready to sign’Date published: Wednesday 21st September 2022 9:38 -Fabrizio Romano has lifted the lid on Christoph Freund’s decision to reject Chelsea after the RB Salzburg director was initially “ready to sign”.
The Blues were regularly one of Europe’s biggest spenders during the Roman Abramovich regime, but some suspected that the new owner would bring about a different philosophy with money on transfers reduced.At least after one window, this is not the case. Chelsea spent more than any other club in Europe as £250m went on new recruits.
This level of spending is usually a sign that managers have a lot of faith in the bank, but Chelsea move differently.
