Under current Chelseа heаd cоаch Mаuriciо Pоchettinо, Mааtsen is hаving trоuble breаking intо the stаrting lineup.Amid rumors linking him to Manchester City, what has Chelsea player Ian Maatsen stated regarding his future? Ok, let’s check it out.

The plot thickens.Well, it appears like Ian Maatsen is considering a move away from Chelsea.

Chelsea have had the 21-year-old on their books since 2018. He is versatile and can play as a left back, left wing back, or winger.

While on loan at Burnley last season, the Dutch teenager was an integral part of the Clarets’ promotion from the Championship.In October, 90 Minutes reported that Chelsea may sell the left back during the January transfer window, even though they had exercised their option to extend his contract by one year.

Citing manager Pep Guardiola as “a big fan” and eager to bring the left-back to the Etihad Stadium midway through the season, the article stated that City are interested in signing him.

Apparently, the teenager has told Voetbal Primeur that he is willing to leave Chelsea if given the chance.

“For the time being, I need to maintain all possibilities open,” Maatsen stated, as paraphrased by SportWitness. In the future, I may face tough decisions; however, the club will make it clear.

If Ian Maatsen wants to leave Chelsea for Manchester City, he should think about it.I think Manchester City would be a good fit for Chelsea left defender Ian Maatsen.

Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure at Chelsea has not been kind to Maatsen. At the present, he is not seeing much action from the former Tottenham Hotspur head coach.

Left back/left wing-back positions are being filled by Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell. Only 107 minutes of Maatsen’s time in the Premier League have been accounted for thus far.

Defending his spоt аt City wоuld undоubtedly be аn uphill bаttle fоr Mааtsen. Mаnаger Pep Guаrdiоlа might nоt necessаrily stаrt him every gаme.

Plus, as we witnessed with Jack Grealish, it can take some time for players to adjust to Guardiola’s method.

Nonetheless, City’s interest in Maatsen indicates that Guardiola has a positive impression of him and believes he might improve him.

I think the 21-year-old Dutchman should jump at the chance to train under Guardiola, who is widely considered to be among the all-time great coaches.
