Chelsea’s sale of Callum Hudson-Odoi to Nottingham Forest for less than £5m looks increasingly questionable as the Blues consider a £60m move for Alejandro Garnacho. Hudson-Odoi’s performances have helped Forest climb to third in the Premier League, ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea, raising concerns about the financial and sporting implications of losing out on Champions League qualification.
- Hudson-Odoi’s Departure: Sold to Forest for under £5m, Hudson-Odoi has contributed significantly to their top-four position, scoring key goals, including a winner against Liverpool.
- Comparison with Garnacho: Despite Chelsea’s potential £60m bid for Garnacho, Hudson-Odoi outscored him last season and has matched his goal tally this term, highlighting the questionable decision to sell him.
- Champions League at Risk: Forest, sitting third, threatens to deny Chelsea a Champions League spot, which could cost the Blues millions in revenue and sponsorship opportunities.
- Criticism of Strategy: The sale reflects broader concerns about Chelsea's transfer strategy under Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, as decisions like this could have long-term repercussions.
