Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel has been offered a new contract by the Blues, despite a nightmare injury keeping him out of action for two years. The Dutchman has not featured since undergoing reconstructive surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament in July 2018. Van Ginkel is out-of-contract at Stamford Bridge this summer but has confirmed to Eindhovens Dagblad that he’s in talks over a new deal.
Marco van Ginkel said “My agent Karel Jansen is discussing a new contract with the club. I am very happy with that sign of trust from Chelsea, It is not without reason that a club tries to keep you in such an uncertain time after such a long injury period. Apparently they still see something in me, although we still have to get out. If I succeed, I expect to be able to return to Chelsea Under-23s in the short term. Otherwise, I will be transfer-free in the summer and we will look further.”
