Agent Blasts Chelsea, Explains Why Blues Missed Out On Kudus Despite Agreeing Personal Terms

Mohammed Kudus’ agent, Jen Mendelewitsch, revealed a “ridiculous” Chelsea offer that saw the Blues miss out on the midfielder.

There were other teams mentioned as potential destinations for the Ghanaian, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain. Todd Bohely and company worked quickly to complete the transfer and even reached a personal agreement with the player, but they only offered Ajax £17 million, which the Dutch giants soon rejected.

Mendelewitsch claimed that while Chelsea was openly preoccupied with the negotiations with Brighton for Moises Caicedo, they used the same strategy with a number of players.

“We reached an agreement with Chelsea, we agreed the contract with Chelsea but the deal was not done,” she told RMC Sport.

“He talked with the coach but in the end, it didn’t happen because Chelsea made a ridiculous offer to Ajax. There was no counter offer. Chelsea did this with lots of players this summer, making very low offers to clubs knowing that they would not be accepted. The truth is that they were completely focused on the transfer of Caicedo which took up all their energy.”

Before Kudus finally sealed his £38m move to West Ham in the summer, Mendelewitsch revealed that his profile was also sent to PSG, but the Parisians decided to turn him down.

“He wanted to leave but there weren’t 50,000 clubs that needed a midfielder and could afford him,” she continued.

“Obviously we offered his profile to PSG, then it was the club’s choice not to move forward. Every club has the right to decide that they go to another profile or that it is not their priority,’ she said.

On Sunday, a Premier League matchup between West Ham and Aston Villa is scheduled.
