Chelsea fans have already begun to show their frustration towards their owner and new manager Enzo Maresca.
Just half an hour after their clash with Manchester City they were heard chanting Conor Gallagher’s name at Stamford Bridge.
Maresca’s start as Blues manager got off to a poor start as Pep Guardiola’s champions took the lead just 17 minutes into the new campaign.
Bernardo Silva collected the ball from Jeremy Doku and laid off Erling Haaland, who powered past Marc Cucurella before delicately lifting the ball over Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to open the scoring.
Conor Gallagher to leave Chelsea?
Moments after Haaland’s goal, the Stamford Bridge crowd began chanting for Gallagher, who has been left out of Maresca’s squad while a transfer looms.
Widespread reports suggested Chelsea were considering selling Gallagher, along with other homegrown players, to comply with Premier League profit and sustainability regulations.
Despite Gallagher’s strong inpidual performances last season, his future at Chelsea remains uncertain.
Atletico Madrid are keen to sign the England international but his potential move to Spain is currently on hold due to Samu Omorodion’s failed move to Chelsea.
