Villarreal CEO, Fernando Roig Nogueroles, has told Chelsea’s new summer signing, Filip Jorgensen that he made a ‘hasty’ move joining the Premier League West London club.
He believes Jorgensen made a mistake leaving Villarreal for Chelsea this summer, adding that the goalkeeper would have benefitted from another season in the La Liga.
Recall that Chelsea recently signed the 22-year-old keeper from Villarreal to provide cover for first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez before the summer transfer deadline.
“The truth is that we didn’t want to sell either Alex [Sorloth] or Filip. We knew that we had to make a sale, but we didn’t foresee those,” Roig Nogueroles told Spanish publication AS.
“In the end, it happened because both players wanted to leave and the offers were attractive enough to accept.
“We didn’t expect to sell Jorgensen so soon, especially as soon as this year.
“We were aware of his enormous potential and we thought he would leave, but not now.
“Honestly, and I have made this clear to him and to those around him, I think Jorgensen was hasty [with his departure].
“He had room for improvement and growth here, but the move was the player’s will.”
