London, August 4, 2052 — Chelsea striker Logan Granger has officially expressed a desire to leave Stamford Bridge, according to internal reports at the club. The 30-year-old legend has told teammates and management he is seeking a new challenge, feeling that he has “achieved everything” possible in blue.
Granger’s agent, Craig McDonald, confirmed the player’s intent in a conversation with Chelsea staff on Sunday evening. “My client is unhappy because he wants a new challenge elsewhere,” McDonald said. Despite the situation, he reportedly maintains strong respect for the club and its leadership.
Currently valued between £109M and £120M, Granger remains one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe. Yet his role at Chelsea has quietly diminished, listed now as a squad player despite his monumental past contributions to multiple league titles, cup wins, and Champions League campaigns.
Granger is under contract until June 2054 and earning £550,000 per week — making any transfer a serious financial undertaking. However, sources close to the player suggest he would consider offers from Spain or Italy as he enters the final phase of his prime.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will attempt to retain the striker or cash in while his value remains high. Either way, the club faces a delicate decision: risk unsettling the dressing room, or say goodbye to yet another legend after the exits of Paul Malcolm and Steffen Nielsen earlier this summer.
