Chelsea has discreetly released a crucial individual who came in a world-record £21 million transaction barely a year ago.
Chelsea have reportedly allowed Bruno Saltor to depart the club quietly, little over a year after bringing him to Stamford Bridge in a world-record £21 million deal for Graham Potter’s Brighton staff.
After Potter’s dismissal, the Spaniard briefly took charge of Chelsea’s first team as caretaker manager, and then stayed on with the Blues while Frank Lampard took over as interim manager, and again as Mauricio Pochettino took over as permanent manager at the start of current season.
Nonetheless, the Telegraph reports that Bruno has discreetly left the west London giants, with the club opting not to publicly announce his departure.
It remains to be seen what this means for Pochettino, who has had a rough start to life as Chelsea manager and could certainly do without any additional upheaval.
Bruno was clearly close to previous manager Potter, so it makes sense for him to move on and allow a new system to take hold.
Chelsea fans may be concerned that things appear to be as hectic behind the scenes as they are on the field.
