At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid's coach Angelo Anzilotti boldly proposed that Chassat be molded into the new role of "false 9", expecting him to realize a rebirth. However, the performance of the 31-year-old Belgian international did not rise as expected, but became more of a spectator than a combatant. According to the Italian media, Chassat plans to leave the team after the opening of the winter transfer window in January next year, and Real Madrid president Pirizzi seems to have tacitly agreed to this request.
Chassat tried the "false 9" position, but failed to play its proper role, scoring only 1 goal in 6 appearances. Subsequently, Antsarotti adjusted his tactics and used Lodi Goghos in this role, and the effect was remarkable, with the Brazilian international making 17 appearances in various matches this season and contributing 7 goals.
Having failed to make the transition, Chassat is convinced that there is no point in staying at Real Madrid and does not want to wait until his contract expires in the summer of 2024, so he hopes to start his new campaign next January.
Despite Xiasat's poor form, his fame still attracts the attention of many football clubs. According to the Italian media, Juventus, taking into account Di Maria's frequent injuries, is interested in signing the "God of Xia" as an alternative, but on the premise of not needing to pay a transfer fee.
Real Madrid's purchase of Chassat from Chelsea for €100 million in the summer of 2019 is feared to end in a huge loss.
