Chelsea player's father criticizes club owners and makes plans for his son to leave.

Todd Boehly has been facing accusations of prioritizing money over the interests of Chelsea Football Club. In a recent interview, Ian Maatsen's father expressed his disappointment with Chelsea's co-owner, Todd Boehly, and his colleagues. He also revealed his son's desire to make his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund a permanent deal.

Since the takeover of Chelsea by BlueCo in 2022, things have not been going well for the club. Despite spending over £1 billion on players and sacking two head coaches, the team has been struggling on the pitch. The new owners have also been criticized for their handling of public relations and for prioritizing financial gains over the club's overall well-being.

Maatsen's father did not hold back in his criticism of the Chelsea hierarchy, accusing them of putting money above the club's interests. He stated, "Things are not going well at Chelsea since they changed ownership. A lot at that club also revolves around money, which sometimes seems more important than the club's interests."

It was reported last month that Maatsen had expressed his desire to join Borussia Dortmund permanently at the end of the season. The left-back, who has a release clause of €35-40m, joined Dortmund on loan in January and has been performing well. It is believed that Dortmund is keen to keep him at the Westfalenstadion.

Maatsen's father also confirmed that they are working towards staying at Dortmund, saying, "We are working on staying at the club. The clubs have to fight it out among themselves. Ian is developing well here." He also mentioned that there are other options besides Chelsea and Dortmund, but Dortmund has been a good restart for his son. He also highlighted the success of other players who have come from Dortmund, such as Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland.

Maatsen spent last season on loan at Burnley, where he helped the team secure a league title and was named in the Championship Team of the Season. Despite Chelsea's initial plans to sell him, he chose to stay at the club. However, in January, he moved to Dortmund on loan, and his father expressed his gratitude for the opportunity. He also mentioned that he still believes he can play for Chelsea in the future.

The recent news of Maatsen's desire to make his loan deal at Dortmund permanent has sparked more discussions among football fans. Many believe that Chelsea should have given him more playing time, while others are questioning the club's decision to let him go in the first place. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Maatsen and Chelsea, but one thing is for sure, the young talent is determined to make a name for himself in the world of football.
