Chelsea is getting ready to make a £64 million offer for the World Cup player who astounded Cristiano Ronaldo.
Chelsea is now preparing an offer to sign Diogo Costa da Porto, while Mauricio Pochettino seems to buy a fantastic goalkeeper.
This is according to a Bola in Portugal.What is the story?
Well, the exit of the Portuguese news believes that Chelsea would like to sign an important update on Kepa Arizarabalaga and Edouard Mendy.
As a result, the efforts to sign Costa da Porto seem to sign.A Bola understands Chelsea are considering making a €75m (£64m) bid for the Portugal international, with the Blues hoping to strike a deal where that amount will be paid in three instalments.
It says Chelsea want to pay €25m (£21m) now and the remaining €50m (£43m) in the future to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
The interest in Costa comes after he enjoyed a superb 2022/23 season in which he kept 20 clean sheets in 41 appearances and conceded just 30 goals.
The 23-year-old also started for Portugal at the World Cup, where he stunned Cristiano Ronaldo after coming dangerously close to missing out in the 3-2 win over Ghana when he rolled the ball towards Inaki Williams rather than tossing it long into the match. last seconds.
Update on Diogo Costa could be a sign of Chelsea changing plans
It was recently rumored that Pochettino now plans to start the 2023/24 season with Kepa as the No.1 goalkeeper, according to Sky Sports.It is clear that this is in contradiction with what a Bola has reported about the coast, so an exit of news has been deceived, or there has been a real change of planning at Stamford Bridge.
In our opinion, Chelsea must follow in the footsteps of Manchester City and Liverpool being great in a main goalkeeper: they can be the difference between a good season and a great one.
Make sure to keep an eye on this situation, because soon an offer must be made for the coast.

Mateo Kovacic: Man City and Chelsea reach a £30 million agreement for the Croatia midfielder
Mateo Kovacic joined Chelsea on loan from Real Madrid in 2018 before making his transfer permanent for £40m a year later;The Croatian midfielder won four major trophies at Stamford Bridge, including the Champions League in 2021; Kovacic has one more year at Chelsea
Manchester City have agreed a £30m deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
The fee is said to be £25m guaranteed initially, plus £5m in performance-based surcharges. An official announcement that Kovacic will join last season’s treble winners is expected shortly.
Kovacic has been at Stamford Bridge since leaving Real Madrid – initially on loan – in the summer of 2018.
The Croatia international won four major trophies during his time at Chelsea – including his fourth Champions League in 2021 – and went on to make 221 appearances for the club.
The logic of why Chelsea would allow Mateo Kovacic to leave Stamford Bridge – even to one of their Premier League rivals – is easy to see given that he only has one year left on his contract and that at 29 years old, it is believed to have a limited one.
Interested in engaging in the Stamford Bridge reconstruction project in West London.
There will likely be a segment of Chelsea fans who look at Kovacic’s tally of four goals and 13 assists in 142 Premier League games over five years and think it’s a bargain, up to £30m for the midfield.It’s true that Kovacic’s influence in the final third was modest at best, while his reluctance to shoot from dangerous positions has always been a curiosity given his superb technical ability.
But it’s also true that Kovacic was never signed as a prolific attacking midfielder, as a tally of 18 goals in eight years for his previous three clubs should have shown.
Instead, the Croatia international’s strengths lie in midfield. Since joining the Premier League in the summer of 2018, Kovacic has ranked fifth among midfielders in successful attacks and assists per 90.
He excels at receiving the ball under pressure, rising while beating the opposing press, and combining defense and attack – skills often overlooked due to his limited attacking power.
But it was those skills that probably endeared him to Manchester City who, after Real Madrid and Inter Milan, added their name to Kovacic’s stellar CV, who has already racked up 18 trophies – including four League titles. champions – during his career and the winner is.
It’s easy to imagine Kovacic fitting perfectly into Pep Guardiola’s squad, either as a competitor to Rodri as a pivot – which would be bad news for Kalvin Phillips – or as a potential future replacement. free agent Ilkay Gundogan as number 8.
Funding Kovacic before his contract expires makes sense for Chelsea, but when Guardiola wants a player it’s usually a sign he’s worth it.

His move to the Blues was confirmed earlier this year by Craig Butler, who heads the Phoenix FC football academy. Taking to Instagram, he wrote:“We are grateful to Chelsea Football Club and look forward to continuing our relationship and partnership with our academy as we prepare Whisper for the Premier League,” Butler wrote on Instagram.
“Personally, Chelsea FC was my childhood dream club and I’m so glad one of my players was built in the Phoenix ovens at Stamford Bridge.”

Officially, Chelsea has signed a 17-year-old goal-scoring machine.
Chelsea have just announced that they have reached an agreement to sign Jamaica international Dujuan Richards, who will join the club after his 18th birthday.The 17-year-old was a goalscoring machine in his youth and has already made his senior debut for Jamaica.
The lightning-fast striker doesn’t have the best qualities of some European academy players, but that’s exactly what our scouts are looking for here – raw physical and technical potential that can be turned into something special.
He scored 31 goals and had 19 assists in the Manning Cup, an under-19 tournament considered the pinnacle of youth football in his home country, where he plays for Phoenix Academy.Richards will likely be part of our development team and will need more experience than some of his peers given his level of play so far, but he certainly has the tools to be a brilliant player. Our commitment to securing the best under-20 players in the market continues.

After the Saudis left and the £65 million Havertz deal, a player who is admired by “people within” Chelsea is reportedly in talks to leave.
There have been several departures from Chelsea this week – now Trevoh Chalobah could be the next to leave Stamford Bridge.Well, journalist Dean Jones recently told Give Me Sport that “the people at” Chelsea look up to the 23-year-old and believe he can still be a huge success at Stamford Bridge.
However, negotiations have now started between Chelsea and Inter Milan over a deal which would see a move from Chalobah to San Siro.
Football London are said to be in talks over an initial loan deal, with Inter Milan committed to buying the Freetown-born defender next summer.
It’s understood Chelsea would want a buyout clause in any deal with Inter Milan, which the Italian giants aren’t too keen on at the moment. Still, Simone Inzaghi seems determined to sign Chalobah.
Football London explains why Inter Milan view the Chelsea No.14 as someone who is a perfect fit for their style of play, including his versatility.
Trevoh Chalobah set to leave Chelsea
Even though Chalobah is held in high regard by Chelsea, we’d be very surprised if this deal doesn’t go through.
Football London add that the England Under-21 international would like to play regularly in the first team next season as he aims to join Gareth Southgate’s England squad for EURO 2024.
With Mauricio Pochettino’s many defense options at the moment, Chalobah will surely have to leave Chelsea if he is to play regularly. Therefore, we would be shocked if Chalobah doesn’t join Inter Milan this summer.
After Arsenal agreed a £65million deal to sign Havertz, Mateo Kovacic joined Manchester City and N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy and Hakim Ziyech left for Saudi Arabia, Chalobah will likely be the next. Next exit.

Mauricio Pochettino prepared his dream £68m striker deal after Chelsea scheduling Nicolas Jackson medical
Chelsea have the tough task of reducing a bloated squad this summer and while they need to beat some players, Mauricio Pochettino remains keen to strengthen his options further.As Chelsea begin preparing for the departure of N’Golo Kante, Hakim Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly, Olympique Lyonnais have reportedly opened a sale – and some diamonds in the rough are up for grabs.
Mauricio Pochettino has been tasked with the difficult task of bringing down a bloated side this summer and while he has some players to beat, the 51-year-old remains keen to bolster his options further.
The Blues have been heavily linked this summer with the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, with Cristopher Nkunku expected to follow suit.
But now Pochettino has had the unique opportunity to invade one of France’s most formidable clubs.
Lyon were bought by an American investor named John Textor late last year, with the 57-year-old since he became club chairman.
And according to RMC Sport, Les Gones will have to raise £111million to avoid sanctions from the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion, the body which oversees the accounts of French football clubs.
Thiago MendesWith Lyon desperate to raise funds, several players have been made available for transfers this summer, including Rayan Cherki, Thiago Mendes and Castello Lukeba.
The trio were regulars in the France first team last season and despite their impressive performances, they were available for much less than the market price.
According to L’Equipe, Chelsea tried to sign Lukeba last year but his £38million offer was rejected by Lyon. In a bid to force an exit this summer, the report says the 20-year-old defender was looking to switch agents in April – but it remains to be seen whether he was successful in changing agents.
As for Mendes, he would certainly provide plenty of cover in midfield while the Blues can still get their hands on Caicedo and Lavia, while Cherki scored four goals and six assists in 34 Ligue 1 games last season after being linked on a transfer. to Paris Saint-Germain in January.
With a few busy weeks ahead, Chelsea have already landed a deal for a Lyon star: Malo Gusto. After signing for the Blues in the final week of the January transfer window, he rejoined the French side on loan until the end of the season.
West Londoners reportedly paid around £26m, including add-ons, for the then 19-year-old right-back. Chelsea were to benefit significantly from Gusto’s reception at Stamford Bridge in the winter, with Reece James’ injury record becoming an issue.
But they could not agree on this as part of the deal. Pochettino will be delighted to team up with two of the most exciting young full-backs on his arrival at Cobham training ground on July 1 – and perhaps Gusto can take Cherki along…

Chelsea player makes a pledge following his £18 million transfer, Before meeting with Mauricio Pochettino.
News about Chelsea: For the 2023–24 season, Mauricio Pochettino could make Andrey Santos a key player at Stamford Bridge.Even though it seems like the 2022–23 season just ended, Chelsea’s preseason will begin in ten days, and preparations for the following campaign are already well under way. At Stamford Bridge, sanctioning incoming and outgoing transfers has taken precedence, with regular updates happening over the past week.
The first Blues player to leave was N’Golo Kante, who signed with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia on a free transfer. Additionally, it appears that the sales of Hakim Ziyech, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy to Saudi Arabian clubs will generate over £40 million.
Sales were important this summer to balance the books and address the issue of a bloated squad, but the majority of the money is coming from Kai Havertz’s £65 million transfer to Arsenal. Mateo Kovacic’s impending £30 million transfer to Manchester City will push the Blues’ windfall over £100 million.
Romelu Lukaku, Ian Maatsen, and Callum Hudson-Odoi, three returning loan stars, look likely to leave for good, but only a select few will be incorporated into the first-team lineup. Andrey Santos, who transferred to the team from Vasco da Gama in January for £18 million, will be one of them.Due to difficulties obtaining a work permit, an immediate loan was required. When a transfer to Palmeiras was unsuccessful, he returned to his former team for their inaugural season in Brazilian Serie A.
Santos will soon return to SW6 after also competing in the under-20 World Cup. Due to the different league format, their current campaign is still going on.
Prior to being eliminated by Israel in a 3-2 loss, the 19-year-old helped his nation advance to the quarterfinals. Santos used social media to honor his childhood team and wish them luck for the remainder of the season as his second stint at Vasco is now coming to an end.
Didn’t turn out as we expected… but I’ll always be cheering, and I’m sure better days are coming, Santos wrote on Instagram in an English translation of his Brazilian caption. Santos’ journey in England will start very soon now that he has a work permit in place. Pochettino is said to be a big fan of the player ahead of preseason, when he will be given opportunities to shine.

Maurizio Sarri is now seeking a reunion with a 27-year-old Chelsea player at Lazio
Reports claimed Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri is now keen on a reunion with Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, the English international is one of the names under consideration for the role of midfielder in Serie A.
It appears Loftus-Cheek is about to leave Stamford Bridge having spent more than half his life as a member of the club.
It has been a struggle for the 27-year-old to break into the first team as a starter since his debut.
Last season was much the same, although his versatility proved useful for the club as injuries struck.
Loftus-Cheek played a number of games at right-back and was the best possible replacement for Reece James.
Sarri wants Loftus CheekHis attacking skills have often chosen him ahead of recognized option Cesar Azpilicueta, who is now also reportedly considering a move to Serie A.
However, the Englishman’s move would see him reform a relationship with the manager who brought out the best in him in west London.
Sarri was only at the club for one season but brought with him an interesting style of football which brought out the best in a range of young players.
One of them was Loftus-Cheek, who was at his best before injuries affected his career for years to come. Another star of the era was Callum Hudson-Odoi, whose prospects have also suffered a setback since the Italian was substituted at Stamford Bridge.
After an unsuccessful loan spell in Germany, his future looks bleak. Talks are scheduled over the next few weeks to find out if he will stay.

Mauricio Pochettino ‘orders’ Chelsea’s transfer officials to sabotage a £34 million Liverpool agreement
Liverpool could be upset with Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino in the transfer window.Chelsea are reportedly planning to hijack Liverpool’s £34m deal for Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga at the request of new manager Mauricio Pochettino. Both teams are looking for midfield reinforcements and see the 21-year-old as a possible solution to their problems.
Celta are happy to lose their star after a superb La Liga campaign, as their £34m contract includes a release clause – alarming clubs both in the Premier League and across Europe. Liverpool have been one of the strongest links as Jurgen Klopp looks to overhaul his midfield, starting with the finalized deal for Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister.
The Reds were ready to take a ‘concrete step’ for Veiga, as journalist Rudy Galetti explained to Give Me Sport: “The race for Veiga will be won by the fastest club.” He also gave up Manchester City, Real Madrid and Napoli. Tip to try to sign the midfielder even though Chelsea could now start the race.
Spanish magazine Relevo claim Pochettino insisted the Blues pay his release clause as part of the club’s rebuild, with the Argentine looking to build his squad amid massive destruction at the hands of Todd Boehly and his company for the huge £600m Spree outlay in the last two transfer windows before Pochettino arrived.
With Veiga having a fixed transfer fee in his contract, the report says it is up to the clubs to convince him to give them preference over their rivals. While Liverpool have an advantage, Chelsea are said to be ‘booming’ as Pochettino have taken the lead in the transfer market over Veiga.Chelsea may have stepped up their push to sign Veiga after talks with Brighton over Moises Caicedo were described as ‘slow’ after the Seagulls demanded a price tag of over £100m for the Ecuadorian.
Veiga has been named as one of the Blues’ alternatives as they look to be more cautious in this window, with Romeo Lavia another on the shortlist of players to partner with Enzo Fernandez. However, Arsenal have the upper hand in talks with the Belgian, who could cost up to £40m despite Southampton’s relegation.
The Gunners have a good relationship with his agent, who also represents Bukayo Saka and helped broker a new long-term deal between the club and the recent England hat-trick hero in May.
Meanwhile, Chelsea could sell Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount, while N’Golo Kante is on the verge of turning down a new contract and leaving for Saudi Arabia on a free transfer, so it’s clear why Pochettino insisted on paying Veiga’s release clause.

Liverpool is “willing to pay” more than £76 million for a player wanted by Chelsea and Man City.
The latest on Liverpool’s search for a new center-back as the Reds look to bolster their roster ahead of the 2019–2020 season.As Jurgen Klopp keeps looking for new midfield superstars, Liverpool has been linked to yet another summer signing that would be a major splash. The Reds made it clear after signing Alexis MacAllister that they weren’t quite done updating their engine room, and many players have been strongly linked with moves to Anfield.
One of the most recent names to be mentioned is Federico Valverde, and according to Spanish media, as relayed by Football 365, the Reds have elbowed their way in front of Chelsea and Manchester City. According to reports, Liverpool is now in the lead in the race to sign the Real Madrid star and is “ready to pay” the high asking price of €90 million (£76.9 million).
Liverpool was anticipated to spend lavishly on bolstering their weakest area after announcing they would be adding more than one midfielder this summer. The fact that they lost interest in Jude Bellingham because of his nine-figure price tag, however, had somewhat eliminated individual big money moves.
It’s interesting that Bellingham joined Madrid earlier this month from Borussia Dortmund despite the fact that they didn’t sign him. After announcing the signing of the Englishman and the departure of Karim Benzema, who joined Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia, Los Blancos is expected to make additional significant transfer announcements.According to reports, Valverde is leaning more toward sticking with the Spanish powerhouse club despite having a contract with Madrid that doesn’t expire until 2027. The 12-goal, seven-assist player from Uruguay started both of his team’s Champions League matches against Liverpool to help the six-time champions be eliminated. He had a productive season overall last year, scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists.
Despite being tipped as the favorites to sign Valverde, Chelsea is once more searching for new players, and Man City will also be looking to replace lkay Gündoan after reaching an agreement with Barcelona following the expiration of his contract.

Liverpool’s plan to steal Tottenham’s move for £60m Bundesliga player; Man Utd, Newcastle are also interested
Liverpool have reportedly “asked to be kept informed” about the future of Tottenham-linked Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Edmond Tapsoba.The 24-year-old striker has been linked for two years with a move to the Premier League. Now it seems that he can finally move.
It’s no secret that Jurgen Klopp wants to strengthen his defense next season. Indeed, the recent performances of Joel Matip and Joe Gomez have caused the manager to scan the market for defenders. For example, Liverpool have been “in talks” with Bayern Munich star Benjamin Pavard.
The French international can play at right-back or centre-back and is keen to join a Premier League club this summer.
However, the Reds have yet to make a concrete offer for Pavard. Then they could potentially turn their attention to Tapsoba.As mentioned, Tottenham Hotspur also have the Burkina Faso national team on their radar. Ange Postecoglou wants to sign two centre-backs this summer, with Tapsoba believed to be his main target.
However, he won’t come cheap as Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly given him a valuation of £60million.Tottenham ‘cautious’ about Liverpool interest in Tapsoba
According to 90Min, Tottenham are ‘cautious’ ahead of their move as Tapsoba could be kidnapped.
The report claims that one of the clubs who could potentially opt for the defender is Liverpool. Manchester United and Newcastle have also been “informed of Tapsoba’s situation”.With that in mind, Tapsoba’s move to Tottenham is far from over, although he is ‘ready’ to join them this summer. Clement Lenglet is unlikely to be brought back on board at Spurs after a mixed spell on loan from Barcelona. Elsewhere, Postecoglou will reportedly be hearing offers for Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies.
Tapsoba made 47 appearances in all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen last season. In doing so, he helped his team to 13 clean sheets and scored two goals.
He is a versatile player and can play as both a defensive midfielder and central defender. This allows him to provide coverage in multiple positions.
With that in mind, it will be interesting to see if Liverpool make a concrete offer for Tapsoba. If they do, Tottenham will only fear more that their deal could fall through.

According to the new UEFA rules, Liverpool will be eligible for the Champions League if they finish fifth.
Due to a significant UEFA rule change, Liverpool can now qualify for the Champions League if they finish fifth the following season.The Reds finished fifth in the most recent Premier League season, so they will have to make do with Europa League competition in the upcoming season.
Even though Jurgen Klopp’s team went on a fantastic unbeaten streak at the end of the league season, winning seven of their final ten games, it wasn’t enough to pass Manchester United or Newcastle.
Two Premier League teams, United and Newcastle, will participate in the final Champions League in its current format before the competition is redesigned.
The other two Premier League teams are Manchester City and Arsenal.There won’t be a traditional group stage for the 2024–2025 season as the number of participating teams increases from 32 to 36.
Instead, the clubs will compete in a single league phase, in which they will face eight opponents in four home games and four away games.
The top eight teams will then advance to the round of 16, and the teams that place ninth through sixteenth will compete in a play-off round. There won’t be any changes to the remaining knockout round.
Additionally, Liverpool and other Premier League teams may experience significant effects from the new format.Why a UEFA rule change might have an impact on Liverpool and other Premier League clubs.
UEFA will change the rules to provide new opportunities for qualifying so that there will be four extra teams in the 2024–25 season.
The two European countries with the best results from the previous campaign will automatically qualify.
English clubs should take note of this because, depending on how well England and Italy perform in 2022–2023, they will each receive an additional Champions League qualification spot.
While West Ham defeated Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final, Manchester City defeated Inter Milan in the Champions League final. Roma, meanwhile, advanced to the Europa League final but fell to Sevilla of Spain.
Since English clubs have recently dominated European football, Klopp’s team would be able to finish fifth next season and still almost certainly guarantee Champions League football. However, the change does not affect Liverpool for the current campaign.

Liverpool was ordered to spend £15 million to acquire a “world-class” wonderkid before Real Madrid.
In spite of Real Madrid’s current interest, Liverpool has reportedly been told they can sign Fenerbahce wonderkid Arda Guler if they activate his €17.5 million (£15.9 million) release clause.As reported by AS, the young talent will only be permitted to leave Turkey this summer if a club exercises his £15 million exit clause. Liverpool is just one of many teams interested in signing Guler, who has exploded onto the European scene this season.
Target Scouting has praised Guler as a “world-class” prospect, and Liverpool are now keeping an eye on the 18-year-old winger after he recently scored for Turkey against Wales in Euro 2024 qualifying. Guler has garnered a lot of praise this season for his impressive performances for Fenerbahce.
Given his youth, Guler is undoubtedly on the path to becoming one of the best players in Europe with six goals and seven assists for Fener last season across all competitions. And with the release clause set at £15 million, Liverpool may now find themselves in a position to sign the young player.
However, if Los Blancos push hard enough to bring the 18-year-old wonderkid to Spain in the upcoming weeks, Liverpool may find it extremely difficult to lure the Turkish winger to Anfield due to Madrid’s interest in him.
If Madrid makes an offer, Liverpool might have trouble acquiring Guler.
Guler’s talent seems to have no limits; at this rate, the winger will soon rank among the most thrilling athletes in all of Europe. Liverpool, however, may be unable to sign the Fenerbahce star if Madrid initiates contact with the player too soon.
Indeed, Madrid is not averse to making significant financial investments in young athletes whom the team believes are deserving of playing for the first team. And if Liverpool goes through with a move, the La Liga team might significantly outmuscle them given how impressive Guler has been over the past 12 months.

Chelsea makes over £100 million by selling FOUR players, in order to fund their increased transfer plans
Although Chelsea may have recently made a lot of purchases, it now appears that the sale of just three first-team fringe players, all of whom are headed to Saudi Arabia, will net the team at least £100 million.Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, and Kai Havertz, who are all headed to Arsenal, are the four first-team players that Chelsea are getting ready to part ways with for a whopping combined fee of £107 million.
The Blues want to sell the last three to various Saudi Arabian clubs in an effort to raise enough money for Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton. Personal considerations shouldn’t be a problem for the Ecuadorian international, who is thought to be interested in the Stamford Bridge move.
Because of the anticipated volume of sales in west London, it appears that newly appointed manager Mauricio Pochettino will have a sizeable budget to work with. Seven Chelsea regulars may all depart in the upcoming days.
N’Golo Kante already left to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, but Matteo Kovacic is soon to be formally introduced as a Manchester City player.
Mason Mount is a fan favorite, and Manchester United and Liverpool are both showing a lot of interest in him. Manchester United has already had two bids for the England international rejected. Mount is unlikely to play football in the capital next season, regardless of which of the two clubs he chooses, as Chelsea will not sell for less than £60 million.
Germany international Havertz will join Arsenal at the Emirates after a deal has been reached. The 24-year-old has been actively promoting the transfer and has already reached an understanding with the Gunners regarding personal terms.Comment below with your thoughts on whether Chelsea will sign Caicedo this summer.
Chelsea should have no trouble meeting Brighton’s £80 million asking price for Caicedo as a result of all these departures, at least theoretically. The Blues’ £60 million offer for the 21-year-old was turned down two weeks ago, and they have yet to make another one.
The people in charge at Stamford Bridge are reportedly desperate to sign Caicedo so that they can pair him up in midfield with club-record signing Enzo Fernandez the following season.
Pochettino hasn’t officially taken over yet, but the Argentinean manager is likely to have spoken with those in charge of the team before him to discuss potential additions and departures.
The former Tottenham manager will be well aware of the size of the task that lies ahead of him in west London as Chelsea attempts to recover from one of their worst seasons in recent memory last time out.
Last season, the Blues spent over £600 million on new players during both the summer and winter transfer windows, yet they finished 12th, their lowest position ever

Thiago Silva set for surprise new Chelsea role as unexpected transfer ‘confirmed’
Chelsea news: Cesar Azpilicueta is set to leave the club this summer, leaving a huge void for Thiago Silva and Reece James that the Blues must now fill without a captain.Mauricio Pochettino faces the biggest challenge as Chelsea manager even before becoming head coach. With his official start date not earlier than July 1, things could be very different when he arrives at Cobham.
He is likely to be without a group of at least seven first-team players, as well as Denis Zakaria and Joao Felix, whose loans have not been renewed.
Even for a big team of 32 players, that’s quite a difference. Now, in the final week before the actual preparations for the pre-season tour of America begin, Pochettino must prepare for a reality many have not anticipated.
After 11 years at the club, Cesar Azpilicueta will leave Chelsea and step down as captain.
The 33-year-old replaced John Terry as permanent captain after leaving Stamford Bridge in 2017. Since then he has guided the team to wins in the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, Super Cup UEFA and the Club World Cup. He also captained three FA Cup final defeats and one League Cup final defeat.
After a glorious spell at the club, he is now preparing to move to new pastures, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer guru says Azpilicueta has agreed personal terms with Inter Milan and could have his contract terminated by Chelsea to ensure the deal goes through.
Out of respect for Azpilicueta, who made his 500th blue appearance for Chelsea earlier this season, the Blues would terminate his contract. After being linked with a move to Barcelona for much of last summer, he has signed a late two-year extension.With injuries and extra competition in the squad, he has played just 1,500 minutes of league football, the least since he joined over 500 minutes.
Compared to the 2019/20 season, his playing time has more than halved. It is proof that he has struggled to work as a full-back or a conventional full-back in recent seasons, although he has continued to remain an important option as a full-back in a back three .
It now looks like he will move on before the Pochettino era really begins, leaving plenty for the new manager and players to replace.
Azpilicueta is expected to leave the club due to a lack of experience and notable managers.Thiago Silva is said to be the only first-team player over 30, while only four players are said to be over 25. Potential newcomers aside, Silva is now miles ahead of the closest player in age. Now he may also have to take on a new role in the team.
As vice-captain following Jorginho’s departure in January, the Brazilian has steadily taken over the armband since he arrived from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020 and will now be a prime candidate to take on the full-time job.
Apart from Reece James, Ben Chilwell and possibly Raheem Sterling, there is a great lack of choices in this regard. While there are emerging leaders within Enzo Fernandez who fit this picture, there is much to replace in terms of leadership and experience.
For Silva, who himself has a one-year rolling contract, that would be nothing new after spending his entire career as leader and captain, but it would also be an interim solution for the 38-year-old who is unable to play forever.
after you. Kepa Arrizabalaga has also captained matches this season with other options off the pitch, but his long-term future is uncertain. James is a natural fit, but he’s a shy character and could possibly serve as Silva’s replacement for another season.
However, after appointing Hugo Lloris as his captain at Tottenham Hotspur shortly after arriving, Pochettino will now need to quickly assess his squad and make a similar choice at Chelsea.

Dream Liverpool team in 2026: Trent Alexander-Arnold decision ,Virgil van Dijk signed
Liverpool have a lot of work to do this summer, but the transfer matters to be completed won’t end there. Jurgen Klopp still has a few big years ahead of him.Liverpool have a lot to think about during the summer transfer window, but these times are never isolated. For example, if the Reds were to sign a defender this summer, it would be before the likely departure of Joël Matip in 2024.
Similarly, the types of midfielders arriving this summer should factor in long-term thinking, with Jordan Henderson and Thiago not rejuvenating with the latter losing his contract in 12 months.
With Jurgen Klopp linked to a new contract until 2026, the German will be the leitmotif of the next transition period at Anfield, with Liverpool continuing to plan for the future.
Looking at 2026 as the point in time, we’re sure Klopp will be in the lead until—and hopefully beyond if he so desires—what other big decisions lie in wait for the next two seasons?
Thiago and Matip could leave next summer, as mentioned, unless one of the two gets an extension, and next year there are several big names on the verge of an extension.
Henderson, who will turn 35 in 2025, will therefore be out of contract, as will Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kostas Tsimikas and Mohamed Salah.
Alexander-Arnold will obviously receive a new contract and could even become captain at that point (if he hasn’t become a full-time midfielder by then, the captaincy role seems even more defined at some point).
Meanwhile, Van Dijk turns 34 this summer – he’s still young enough to be a defender, but he should probably reduce his workload by then. At that point, it will be necessary to find a successor at the beginning of the transition.
Salah is the other big name on that descendant list, with a big decision looming near the end of next season as to what to do with him. It took a long time to accept his previous extension and Liverpool don’t want another story.
He’s turning 33, but he’s still showing no signs of letting up. But like Van Dijk, in 2026 it will be necessary to find a player who can eventually replace the Egyptian, so at least the transition period could have begun.
Fabinho, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konaté will all be eligible for contracts by 2026. The Brazilian has already shown some shaky signs in terms of fitness last season, while Robertson will be 32. Konaté will be 27 years old and in his prime.
In short, once the reconstruction of the midfield has been arranged, more important decisions will have to be made later. Alisson Becker will turn 33 in 2026 and is under contract until next year, but plenty of other big calls loom.
Alexis Mac Allister will be just 27, Curtis Jones 25 and Harvey Elliott 23. Stefan Bajčetić will be just 21 and Ben Doak will somehow be just 20. Darwin Núñez and Cody Gakpo will be 27 that summer, but Diogo Jota and Luis Díaz will approaches 30 years.
Most of the squad are young enough now that they are still good options to go three years from now, but key players like Van Dijk and Salah will need more management and replacements lined up early.
There will be plenty of transfer activity at Liverpool this summer, but in the short term it will be necessary to be more proactive and stay one step ahead before such drastic action is needed to replace the most irreplaceable stars.

Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone, along with other transfer targets, have access to the Liverpool jersey numbers.
Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone are controlled by Jurgen Klopp and his recruiting teamKhephren Thuram and Manu Kone remain in the spotlight and it could still take a few weeks for Liverpool’s two summer goals.
Having kicked off their recruitment campaign by signing Alexis Mac Allister on a free transfer, the Reds want at least one more midfielder to bolster their squad for the 2023/24 season.
Thuram and Kone are under scrutiny as Jurgen Klopp and his recruiting team pursue a younger profile for their next signing.
For those unfamiliar with the two French starlets, or Ryan Gravenberch and Gabri Veiga, there is a chance to see them do their job this summer at the ongoing European Under-21 Championships taking place in Romania and Georgia. The tournament lasts until mid-July.
Thuram and Kone came on for Les Bleus on Thursday night as they headed to a controversial 2-1 win against Italy, which saw VAR – and for once a lack of such technology – take center stage in the dying minutes .
As long as they had no connection to the Italian team, the most important thing for the Liverpool fans who watched the action via the UEFA website was the performance of Thuram and Kone. Overall, Kone was fantastic while Thuram showed one or two nice glimpses of his undisputed talent.
Of course, he’s sparked debate about their respective futures, and one look at social media was enough to show just how high they both stand on the red side of this famous footballing city. However, with a golden opportunity to showcase themselves, there will be no shortage of other candidates.
However, should the Reds sign either or both, there are some tempting squad numbers available to snap up their proposed arrivals at Anfield, even after Mac Allister landed the vacant number 10 which was not allocated by the club after Sadio Mane joined Bayern Munich.
Outgoing foursome James Milner (7), Naby Keita (8), Roberto Firmino (9) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have four options left on the hook, although there could be internal calls for those jerseys. Other tracks currently available include; 12, 16, 24, 25, 30 and 31 along with further options in the 30s and 40s.
