Yan Diomande moved to the United States as a teenager, where he continued chasing his dream while playing at the youth level. His talent quickly caught the attention of scouts, earning him opportunities in Europe.
1/3
One of those opportunities came at Chelsea, where he spent time on trial in 2023. Despite showing plenty of promise, a permanent move never happened, and his journey took him elsewhere.
2/3
Fast forward to 2026, he’s seen as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, with reports suggest Real Madrid are preparing a move worth more than €100 million.
What if Chelsea had signed him when they had the chance? 🤔

Lionel Messi never scored against Chelsea when Petr Cech was in goal.
It is a proud record that spans six Champions League matches, and was put to the greatest test in an unforgettable semi-final tie against Barcelona in 2012.
Heading into the first leg at Stamford Bridge, Messi’s tally for the season was 63 goals. “I remember when Roberto (Di Matteo, Chelsea’s interim manager) presented the game, the whole team was laughing,” former Chelsea coach Christophe Lollichon says. “I analysed every single goal he scored. The direction, the positioning, the attitude in one-vs-one situations, his eyes when he looks at the goalkeeper.
“At the end, I said to Petr, ‘This guy is so quick technically, his central vision is so perfect. He’s waiting for a very little movement from the goalkeeper to kill him. You have to wait, to wait, to wait, and force him to make a choice’. He said: ‘OK, I like it’.
“Messi loves to put the ball between the goalkeeper’s feet, or close to the feet. The goalkeeper always tries something; he moves one foot and Messi immediately reacts. I remember one situation (in the tie) when Messi was very close to Petr and Petr didn’t move, didn’t move, didn’t move.
“In the end, Messi kicked the ball towards Petr’s legs and Petr made an ice hockey save. He stopped the ball with his knee.”

Mudryk back next season?
If Mudryk's ban is reduced by CAS, he could be back on the pitch in a much shorter timeframe. Sources close to the player believe he could be back in action as early as next season.

Como President, Mirwan Suwarso: “If that makes [Cesc Fabregas] happy, that’s him. You want your employees to stay for as long as possible but at the end of the day we don’t own him and he’s free to go to Chelsea if he wishes."
