My time at Chelsea is already over, reveals Blues’ fringe star Lucas Piazon
Lucas Piazon wants to leave Europa League champions Chelsea as he is fed up of being loaned away to some other club every season. The 25-year-old joined the Blues eight years ago, and is currently entering his seventh season on loan as he is set to debut for Portugal based club Rio Ave.
Lucas Piazon had joined Chelsea from Sao Paulo in 2011, but only made three senior appearances during his time at London, with all of them coming in 2013. The attacking midfielder, who can also operate on the wings, has so far been loaned out to seven different clubs in five different countries and was sent to Rio Ave earlier this month.
Speaking to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Piazon said, “My time at Chelsea is already over. I'm 25, I've been on loan several times. I've been at Chelsea since 2011, I've been on loan almost all over Europe. I'm tired of playing here and there, I need a place where I can feel at home. I want to know that in July I will return to the same place, to the same house. I'd have a good season on loan, but I'd come back and was soon loaned again.
"There was no point in going out on loan, playing well, coming back, not being used and being loaned again. There comes a time in your career that makes no sense anymore. By the way, I said exactly that three years ago and it didn't go so well at Chelsea, it generated some discomfort. I can't just blame Chelsea, because I also accepted all that. But of course, there came a time when I thought that being loaned again would no longer be necessary, I had to go on with my life,” added Piazon.
