Chelsea Transfers: 10 Players Screwed By Blues' Ludicrous Transfer Policies

2. Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin de Bruyne is an example of the precise reason why Chelsea behave the way they do in the transfer market. The Belgian midfielder joined the Blues from Genk for a fee in the region of £6.7 million in 2012, before being loaned back to Genk for the remainder of the season and farmed out on loan to Werder Bremen for the duration of the following campaign. After having a brief stint with Jose Mourinho's team at the start of last season, Chelsea reached an agreement with Wolfsburg to take the player off their hands permanently for a fee close to £20 million. Let's get this straight - the transfer market is so incredibly inflated that a player who barely appeared for Chelsea in two years with the club was sold on for more than three times the amount he was bought for? Of course, its not de Bruyne's fault, and in a way you can't really blame Chelsea either - they are proving to be very clever and shrewd in the transfer stakes, having this method down to a tee.
