Chelsea could be about to lose another promising youngster following revelations that Marcin Bulka is considering his options at the club.
The young goalkeeper has confirmed that he has been offered a new deal to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge, but is unsure about whether or not to sign a new deal.
Speaking to Przegląd Sportowy, Bulka explained his situation and the conundrum he faces.
I felt that the club would bring in a goalkeeper after Thibaut’s departure, but I did not know that it was all that much [but] I’m not feeling worse because I just cannot. It is known that he does a good job, he can not be accused of anything. He is a very good goalkeeper, he is 24 years old, so there is a lot ahead of him.
Bulka also confirmed that he is hoping to secure a loan move soon.
There were eager clubs [in the summer, including from Serie B and the Eredivisie], but in London they wanted to stop me. I was told that it would be better for me. I thought about it and found out that there was no hurry.
Yes [I want to go on loan if the situation does not change until the winer]. Anyway, there will be talks soon. The winter window begins at any moment, so it’s a matter of time when we will decide.
I do not know what will happen [with my contract]. I got an offer to extend the contract, Chelsea wants to keep me for longer, but I have not made a decision yet.
The player has explained that the summer signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao has cast serious doubts over the first-team opportunities that will be available in London.
The Spaniard penned a huge seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge over the summer, meaning Bulka could be as old as 26 before he is given a fair chance to dislodge the current number one.
Unfortunately for Chelsea, the youngster may not be willing to put his career on hold for that long.
