You cannot only blame the club, if an offer appears for Jesus [Perez, my assistant], it is because Jesus was open to receiving the offer, no? Come on, we need to also be clever. Did you receive an offer, Jesus [laughs]?!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, but it is always easy to blame the club and blame the club. In the same way, maybe the player was thinking in pre-season or before the season to move in one direction. If after that didn\u2019t happen, then I am fair with the player. I will give them a chance to perform and play here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe the player decides to stay after but that\u2019s the business. That is not &#8216;oh the club accepted the offer&#8217; or &#8216;the player wanted to move&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Come on, it is a business that we know very well. The players that are here if they deserve will have the opportunities to play but they need to be better than the others in their position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are yet to entice Ian Maatsen into a new contract despite triggering a one-year extension clause in his current deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutchman is attracting a long list of admirers and the Blues will push Maatsen for a decision on his future &#8211; as he is another player that could be sold.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley struck a \u00a331.5m deadline-day deal with Chelsea for the Dutchman but he decided he wanted to remain at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham remain interested and the Blues could entertain offers in 2024.
