Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has said the uncertainty surrounding the club\u2019s ownership is giving their rivals an early advantage in the summer transfer market.<\/p>\n

Blues\u2019 owner, Roman Abramovich, has been sanctioned by the UK government and the Premier League outfit is in the process of being sold.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of a special licence allowing the club to function, Chelsea are banned from signing players or agreeing contract extensions with existing members of their squad.<\/p>\n

This has led to Antonio Rudiger\u2019s decision to leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer. Andreas Christensen is also in advanced talks to join Barcelona when his contract runs out in June.<\/p>\n

As it stands, Chelsea cannot approach possible replacements or look to strengthen their squad in other areas at a time when many others are beginning to take steps in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201c[In a normal season], you are never fully sure but we would have some targets and we would have for sure contacted some players and found out about their situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, now our hands are tied. We can still have talks inside the building but we cannot act. The situation is not ideal,\u201d Tuchel said.<\/p>\n
