Chelsea players are regretting their long-term contracts with the Blues.
Since Todd Boehly's takeover, Chelsea have signed 17 new players, with many on deals over five years.
The Athletic says some players have already started to regret committing themselves to such a lengthy term.
Squad numbers and on-field form concerns have some players worried they've locked themselves into a spiraling situation.
Many of the players signed also carry clause of 30-50 per cent pay-cuts should Champions League qualification be missed.
A source said: "That situation is hardly going to help harmony within the group. You'll have some players paying the price financially for the bad results this season, and some who are not."
