Chelsea have almost been in a state of limbo for the past few weeks. Since government sanctions were placed on the club, the Blues haven't been able to operate in their usual manner.
The ongoing situation has impacted ticket sales and merchandise sales, and it seems destined to have an influence on the future of the current squad, with Antonio Rudiger now linked with Barcelona after also being tipped for moves to Juventus and Bayern Munich.
The 29 year-old centre-back has opted against signing a new contract at Chelsea so far and at the moment, the Blues are unable to tie down any of their players on longer deals, including Andreas Christensen. Cesar Azpilicueta is another player who is linked with a transfer to Barcelona.
