French full-back Jonathan Clauss has opened up on the reasons why he opted to snub Chelsea’s approach this summer in favour of remaining in Ligue 1 by moving to Marseille.
The Blues were linked with a number of defenders, including ex-Lens star Clauss, as they frantically searched for new players following Todd Boehly’s takeover, and identified the 29-year-old as a top target.
But the right-back turned his nose up at the opportunity to play at Stamford Bridge and has now revealed the reasons behind his decision, as the Blues failed to ‘tick all the boxes’ despite offering him the chance to play in the Premier League.
