Van Ginkel featured predominately throughout Chelsea’s pre-season, but the Dutchman was not even named on the bench for their Premier League opener against Burnley, despite the fact both Ramires, and Mohamed Salah were missing.
The competition for places in the Chelsea midfield is too great at the moment, and Van Ginkel’s agent Karel Jansen told AD that although the former Vitesse star wants to stay, he may have too leave to gain first team football.
Jansen said on the possibility of a loan deal, “We are in talks with Chelsea. Of course Marco wants to fight for his chances, but there must be perspective,”
“Monday night was not pleasant to see, of course. We are waiting for a response from Chelsea on how they see it.”
Jansen wen’t on to say that he doesn’t think a return to the Eredivisie is on the cards, with PSV reportedly interested, as he feels the Dutch league is, “Too low a level.”
Van Ginkel is waiting for offers from Germany, Spain, and Italy.
This is a no brainer but I’m afraid Marco’s confidence has been shattered. The key ages are 18-22 if a player does not grow talent wise and in confidence they may NEVER become the player they could be. The move to Chelsea was a mistake of epic proportions he was not ready and his agent should be FIRED. If he played two or three more years in Holland and was still improving he would be ready but now he has regressed and has lost critical months in his development.
Unfortunately Mike is right. This kid made the same mistake by countless others. He’s done.
Overmars did warned him of the move abroad too early at his age then but as usual the temptation to play abroad in a big club and top league with plenty of $$$$$$$$ was too much to resist….me too if I was him .
