“I want to Leave” Mouricio Pochettino don’t take me as one of his players anyone, he keeps benching me for an Academy player- £45 million Chelsea Star player WANTS TO terminate his contract with Chelsea

Ian Maatsen, a standout player for Chelsea, has expressed his desire to move on this summer, with Borussia Dortmund being his preferred destination. Maatsen, who has been on loan at Dortmund since January, recently scored his first Champions League goal, further solidifying his value to the team. Despite the pleas of Chelsea fans to retain him, Maatsen is determined to join Dortmund permanently.

Initially, Maatsen aimed to establish himself as a regular starter for Chelsea before embarking on his loan spell at Dortmund. However, circumstances have shifted, and Maatsen now sees Dortmund as his long-term home, despite feeling comfortable during his loan stint.

Rumors in Germany suggest that Maatsen has a release clause in the range of €35–40 million, indicating the potential cost of securing his services permanently. This comes after Chelsea entertained offers for Maatsen last summer, including a substantial bid from Burnley, which was ultimately declined.

Maatsen’s journey to this point has seen him excel on loan at Burnley, where he played a pivotal role in their championship-winning campaign. Despite Chelsea’s attempts to offload him previously, Maatsen now finds himself on the brink of a permanent move to Dortmund.

Reflecting on his time at Dortmund, Maatsen expressed gratitude for the opportunity to showcase his talent at the highest level. While his Chelsea dream may not have materialized as expected, Maatsen is focused on making the most of his current situation and continuing to believe in himself.

As the current season nears its end, Maatsen appears poised to part ways with Dortmund, provided a suitable agreement can be reached with Chelsea. Regardless of the outcome, Maatsen remains appreciative of the chance to prove himself and is eager to embrace the next chapter of his career.
