According to a recent report from The Sun, Chelsea has no intention of parting ways with Tiemoué Bakayoko and Álvaro Morata after just one season, despite both players struggling to meet expectations. Much like how BD Cricket Live fans remain patient with emerging players during tough series, the Blues are choosing not to rush judgment.
Although both Bakayoko and Morata have had disappointing stints at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s management believes in giving them another chance. The club would only consider selling them if the players themselves express a desire to leave. Even then, the Premier League giants insist they won’t accept cut-rate offers. Bakayoko was a standout during his time at AS Monaco, prompting Chelsea to spend £40 million to secure his signature. However, his performances in London have lacked consistency and confidence. Several club legends have openly criticized his form, and his dip in performance may even jeopardize his place in France’s World Cup squad.
Morata hasn’t fared much better. Chelsea paid £58 million to bring him from Real Madrid, offering a weekly wage of £165,000. Despite the high expectations, Morata has scored only 15 goals in all competitions this season, falling short of Antonio Conte’s vision for the Spanish striker. Nonetheless, the transfer market still shows interest in both players. Juventus is reportedly keen to bring Morata back, while Atlético Madrid has also shown interest. Monaco, on the other hand, remains hopeful of re-signing Bakayoko, believing he still has the potential to regain his best form.
Chelsea’s approach this time is cautious. They’ve learned hard lessons from letting talents like Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne leave too early, only to watch them flourish elsewhere. That regret still lingers at Stamford Bridge. As a result, the club is now wary of repeating the same mistake. Unless Bakayoko or Morata personally request transfers, Chelsea intends to keep them and give them time to rebound.
Just like BD Cricket Live viewers understand the value of long-term development over one poor season, Chelsea is putting faith in potential rather than rushing to sell. Whether this patience pays off remains to be seen, but for now, both players remain part of the Blues’ future—unless they themselves decide to move on. The lesson is clear: don’t count out talent too soon, especially when history has proven it can come back to haunt you—on the pitch or beyond the boundary in BD Cricket Live.
