This two players slammed for joining Chelsea because of money

Former football star Emmanuel Petit has hit out at Chelsea’s summer signing Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia as he claimed they joined the Blues because of money.

According to Petit, Caicedo and Lavia should have moved to Liverpool instead of Chelsea.

Recall that Chelsea made £55 million and £115m to sign Lavia and Caicedo, respectively.

The two players were on Liverpool’s radar but they opted to join Chelsea instead.

“Caicedo signed for Chelsea when he was linked with Liverpool, just like Romeo Lavia,” Petit told BettingSites (via FourFourTwo).

“I am not going to say anything stupid but we all know why they went to Chelsea. Sportingly, the best decision right now would be to go to Liverpool.

“If I am Caicedo or Lavia, I am going to Liverpool instead of Chelsea because I can’t see a clear plan for what is going on at Chelsea.

“Thirty-five players? Come on. How many players do they need? It is going to be a nightmare just like what happened last season.”

He continued, “For me, the answer is very easy. If you ask somebody why Caicedo and Lavia decided to go, the answer is just money. Money talks for the clubs and for the players.”
