French forward rejects Chelsea offer due to lack of Champions League football, breaking news
WE JUST MISSED IT AGAIN.
French forward turns down Chelsea's offer due to the absence of Champions League games.
Thuram desires to join a squad that can provide him with Champions League opportunities.
Thuram, 25, reportedly turned down a trade to Chelsea because the Blues cannot guarantee him Champions League play in the upcoming season, according to French media site L'Equipe. Thuram wants to sign for a team that will let him play in the Champions League, and Chelsea is unable to provide that.
Given that Chelsea's rivals can provide champions league football, Chelsea's inability to offer Champions League or European action next season could be a significant barrier to luring big-name strikers to the club.
