    Chelsea News – Paul Merson predicted Mauricio Pochettino whom he succeeded in Chelsea, even if he had a brutal look at his difficulties so far

    Former Arsenal Star Paul Merson succeeded in Chelsea in Chelsea, but rendered a brutal judgment on his current situation.

    After changing ownership, the Blues are in a transition state last year, in which Blueco was taken over by Roman Abramovich.

    You have transformed the club from top to bottom and transferred their structure from their players to rear teams.

    The biggest change has been the strategy because they are trying to modify the recruitment policy for the purchase of young talents that the team will receive for the years to come.

    During the three windows that had owned, around 1 billion pounds sterling were spent on transfers, which increased players’ turnover.

    Last season saw a huge influx of talent but Chelsea failed to finish 12th in the Premier League after a difficult season.

    There were further changes this summer with the appointment of new head coach Pochettino and a series of departures to trim the squad before further arrivals were made.

    The former Tottenham manager had a slow start to life with the Blues, who were more dangerous in their game but picked up just four points from four games.

    This has led to more questions about the expectations the team should be aiming for this season.

    Shock Chelsea's Mauricio Pochettino is predicted as Paul Merson delivers a harsh judgement.
    Former Arsenal star Merson slammed Chelsea but backed Pochettino’s success when speaking to Sky Sports about the departure. He said: “Chelsea have signed a million players and you’re like, ‘How do you choose a team from that group?’”

    “Chelsea is about winning trophies.
    It’s not about Tottenham trying to get into the top four, but that’s what it’s about – and doing it so quickly. If you read this book on vacation, you would throw it in the trash.
    Wed.
    You might think, “That’s the biggest amount of trash.
    It can’t happen.

    “Chelsea had all these great young players they were producing, a team that had just won the Champions League and now you look at that and you’re like, ‘How did that happen?
    “It’s like Men in Black –

    Someone has turned the pen and you’re like, ‘What happened?’ Mauricio Pochettino will get there because he’s a good manager, but it’s going to be difficult. If they finish in the top four, they will cut down trees.

    “They bought too many equal players. Enzo Fernandez is of a different class, much better than the others. But how long will he last?
    There is not enough cheating in the team.” No player passes the ball through the eye of a needle.

    “Teams will go to Stamford Bridge, line up ten players behind the ball and counter-attack.
    I said on Saturday that Chelsea would be beaten 1-0.
    I know how difficult they are against teams that have ten players in defense.They can.
    Don’t let teams fall apart. It’s like watching Subbuteo football: there’s no movement.Unless Fernandez finds that killer pass, no one else will…

    “These players all have eight-year contracts, so I don’t know where this is going.
    Maybe you’ll get the book out of the sea again and see how this plays out.”

    Chelsea’s new signing Romeo Lavia has revealed the three reasons that convinced him to join the West London giants.

    Keen to boost their midfield options this summer, the Blues completed the signing of Lavia for £58m on Friday morning, just days after the signing of Moises Caicedo.

    The Belgium international has signed a seven-year contract with the West London giants after completing a medical on Thursday, Mail Sport has revealed.

    Interest in the former Southampton star continued throughout the transfer window and at one point it looked like he might sign for Liverpool.

    The Reds were in hot pursuit of the 19-year-old and made more offers to the Saints, only for Chelsea to pounce and reach an agreement with the club.

    The Belgian star will wear number 45 for Chelsea, the same as for Southampton

    And in his first interview after signing for Chelsea, Lavia revealed the “three factors” that convinced him to join the Blues.

    “I think the project and the club’s ambitions were key factors, but also the story behind it, so those three factors influenced my decision,” he said.

    Liverpool have a glittering history, boasting 19 league titles to Chelsea’s six.

    However, since the start of 2010, Chelsea have won 11 titles to Liverpool’s seven and for the Belgian star this makes them a more attractive option. Lavia also spoke on the club’s website, after sealing his move, where he said: “I’m really happy to be joining Chelsea and being a part of this exciting project.” It’s a great football club with a great history and I’m really excited to start.

    “I can’t wait to meet all my new teammates and build chemistry together to accomplish great things together.”

    The 19-year-old will wear the Blues’ number 45 shirt, the same number he wore during his year at Southampton.

    Before the official announcement on Friday morning, the Belgian international also wrote an emotional message to his fans to say goodbye to the club.

    “To the Saints fans. As I greet you, I want to thank you for everything you have given me during my time here,” he said.

    “I immediately felt the love of all of you, even if we didn’t reach our common goals.

    I will never forget the faith shown to me by the club and Saints around the world and I hope I have been able to repay the trust you have placed in me.

    “I would like to give a special thanks to all my teammates and all the staff within the club, whether closely involved or not, for embracing me since the day I walked across Staplewood Campus and for all the day to day work and help behind the screens that make me a better person, athlete and footballer.

    Good luck this season and I look forward to seeing the club return to the Premier League where it belongs soon! Thanks Saints. romeo.\’

    As Mail Sport revealed on Wednesday, the deal includes a further £5m in add-ons, with Chelsea’s spending under United States owner Todd Boehly now poised to cross the £1bn mark.

    Lavia joined Southampton from Manchester City last season after impressing during his academy training years with the reigning Premier League champions.

    Pep Guardiola has rejected the buy-back option included in his contract with the south coast club, but will recover the 20% resale fee from the Chelsea deal.

    Lavia – the Belgian international – enjoyed success in England’s top flight last season, making 29 Premier League appearances, but was unable to help Saints stay clear of the relegation zone.

    His decision to turn down Liverpool means Klopp will now look for alternatives during the remaining days of the transfer window.

    And the Reds wasted no time in doing so, Mail Sport revealed on Wednesday night when they made a surprise £16million offer for Stuttgart midfielder Wataru Endo, 30.

    Endo, the fierce Japanese captain, is well known to Liverpool sporting director Jorge Schmadtke and can also play as a centre-back. He is to undergo a medical examination in Merseyside.

    Gravenberch, 21, is open to leaving as he wants to play more regularly. Bayern have so far resisted a sale, but they are overburdened with midfielders and are under pressure to claw back cash following the £100m signing of Harry Kane.

    Liverpool have also asked about Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat and Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure as they consider midfield goals after failing to sign Caicedo and Lavia.

     

  • Real Madrid are now trying to hijack Chelsea’s offer to sign a £56m striker, Ancelotti has made a phone call

    Real Madrid are now trying to hijack Chelsea’s offer to sign a £56m striker, Ancelotti has made a phone call

    Real Madrid are now trying to hijack Chelsea’s offer to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus – Carlo Ancelotti even made a phone call about the striker.

    That’s according to Goal.

    What’s the news on Chelsea target Dusan Vlahovic? We’ll take a look…

    What is the story?
    According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea recently spoke to Juventus director of football Cristiano Giuntoli in London about the Serbia international. The 51-year-old then revealed that Juventus would sell Vlahovic if they received a meaningful offer given his financial situation. A separate report from Gazzetta dello Sport says Chelsea are preparing a £56million bid.

    As quoted by Fabrizio Romano, Giuntoli said: “It’s no secret that we have to sort our balance sheets and accounts, so we have to look at detailed proposals. It’s important to make it clear that we trust Dusan and that he is part of our project.”

    However, Chelsea now face serious competition for No9 Juventus with Real Madrid having shown interest.

    Goal understands the Spanish giants have investigated Vlahovic and Ancelotti has also personally called to find out about the 23-year-old’s situation at the Allianz Stadium.

    Dusan VlahovicThe Serb scored 14 goals in 42 games in the 2022/23 season to finish Juventus in seventh place in Serie A. Vlahovic’s price could rise now that Real Madrid take on Chelsea
    In our opinion, a bidding war for Vlahovic could now start which is far from ideal for Chelsea.

    The Blues appeared free to sign the Serbian, with Gazzetta dello Sport saying talks between Chelsea and Juventus are regular and Stamford Bridge players are seriously considering signing the striker.

    However, Chelsea have been busy signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton, while Mauricio Pochettino have reportedly wanted to sack Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before signing a new striker.

    This delay has now allowed Real Madrid to enter the race – make sure you keep an eye on Vlahovic’s situation as anything could happen this summer.

    Blues furious and prepared to complain to the FA after Klopp held direct transfer talks with a Chelsea star.
    Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, has reportedly had direct conversations with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp about a potential transfer, which could get the Reds into trouble.

    Chelsea is upset about this and may report Liverpool to the FA, according to journalist Felix Johnston in the tweet below. They are also upset about Brighton’s persistence in trying to sign the talented young center-back after his loan stint there last season.

    Colwill appears to be one of the most promising young players in the nation right now, so if he doesn’t get regular playing time at Chelsea, he should undoubtedly move on.

    He may have the opportunity to compete for a spot in the first team if Mauricio Pochettino and other important CFC figures take a close look at him during preseason.

    Even with last season’s blip, Klopp has done a good job at Anfield for most of his career, so Liverpool could also be an alluring option for Colwill.

    LFC would do well to build a new-look defense around a talented player like Colwill because Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip aren’t getting any younger.

    Liverpool pushes to sign the desired midfielder valued at £34 million despite the fee being lowered.

    Blues furious and prepared to complain to the FA after Klopp held direct transfer talks with a Chelsea star.
    The most recent reports suggest that Southampton may have reduced the asking price for Romeo Lavia, a midfielder who is in high demand this summer.

    The Belgian international has been mentioned in connection with Liverpool for some time, and today’s report from Spain suggests that even Barcelona made a move for him.

    The Catalan giants offered the Saints a loan with the option to buy at the end of the season, per Sport (news image provided below).

    The relegated team decided to reject it because they wanted a cash deal and were aware that Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United were competing for his services.

    Lavia will one day become a superstar, according to Barca, and will be able to play in front of the backline for any team in the world.

    Media outlets with a solid reputation have reported on numerous valuations. TalkSPORT reported a price of £50 million in Britain, while The Mail reported a valuation of £45 million.

    The Saints are reportedly asking for a fee of £51.5million (60 million euros), according to the Italian publication La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

    The St. Louis Cardinals’ St. Spanish champions Barcelona are unable to pay Mary’s team’s asking price of nearly 40 million euros (£34 point three million) to sell Lavia because of their financial limitations.

    Should Liverpool spend £34.3 million to sign the 19-year-old boy if they want to improve their defensive midfield position this summer?
