    We ran a simulation of the 2023–24 season with Kylian Mbappe at Chelsea to see if the PSG forward could turn around the Blues after making a significant transfer.

    One of the many teams who might complete a transfer for the striker is Chelsea, and Kylian Mbappe is once more being linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain.

    After appearing almost certain to sign with Real Madrid last summer, Mbappe decided to change his mind and commit his future to PSG for an additional two years, with the possibility of an additional year’s extension. Nevertheless, it appears that the Frenchman will reject the extension, which means the French Champions run the risk of losing their most valuable asset for nothing when the current contract expires in a year, fueling speculation about a summer transfer.

    As usual, Madrid are the favorites to sign him, but Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City have also been connected to the 2022 World Cup’s leading scorer.

    The Blues won’t likely be in the running to sign him, but PSG might be willing to sell for a fair price if they don’t want to risk losing him for nothing next summer.

    We ran simulations for the upcoming season to see how Mbappe might perform if he were to join Chelsea.

    With Kylian Mbappe, Chelsea’s 2023–24 season was simulated.

    Using Football Manager 2023, we moved Mbappe to Chelsea on July 1, 2023, and then we simulated the 2023–24 season. The Frenchman performed in this manner.

    Mbappe, 24, became the focal point of Chelsea’s attack as was to be expected after the high-profile transfer; he made more appearances for the Blues than any other forward during the 2023–24 season. Mbappe finished the season as the Premier League’s leading scorer with 28 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.

    Mauricio Pochettino's attack was revitalized when Kylian Mbappe was "signed" by us for Chelsea.
    Erling Haaland (26) and Darwin Nunez (24) lost out on the golden boot to him because 27 of his 28 goals came in the league. The striker also recorded the highest rating in the Chelsea team, a 7 point 41 average rating per game.

    Under Pochettino, Enzo Fernandez rose to unprecedented heights, scoring 14 goals, dishing out 13 assists, and winning nine Player of the Match awards—one more than Kylian Mbappe. Raheem Sterling had a successful season in which he scored 15 goals, and Mykhailo Mudryk and Christopher Nkunku also performed admirably.

    Football Manager 2023 assembled an all-time best Chelsea XI at the conclusion of the 2023–24 season based on performances, statistics, and other factors. This is how it appeared:.

    Christopher Nkunku breaks his silence on Chelsea transfer with a message from Mauricio Pochettino

    Christopher Nkunku is set to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window, having signed a preliminary contract last year before moving to Stamford Bridge for £52million.

    Christopher Nkunku has answered questions about his likely move to Chelsea this summer during his international cap with France.

    The Frenchman signed a preliminary contract last year and will complete a £52m move to Stamford Bridge ahead of next season, according to football. london.

    The 25-year-old won the Bundesliga Golden Boot – despite missing two months of the season through injury – scoring 16 goals in just 25 league appearances.

    Chelsea are in desperate need of a goalscorer after Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling were the Blues’ top scorers last season with nine goals each.

    “The signs are very, very clear that he is moving to Chelsea,” RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl told BILD recently. Nkunku scored a goal and provided an assist as he helped Leipzig win the DFB-Pokal in his last appearance for the German side.

    Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has been asked about his compatriot’s arrival ahead of the summer transfer window. Fofana replied: “If that happens, I will be very happy.”

    However, Nkunku remained hesitant about his future and the summer transfer window, saying on international duty:

    “My goal is to get closer to Les Bleus. We will have time to think about everything that will happen next.

    Asked about his preferred position and where he could play under Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, Nkunku added:

    “I play where the manager decides.” I don’t want to be a problem but a solution.
    “But I can be in front, in support or on the sides. I have the ability to adapt, I like being free.”

    After making it clear he would like to extend his current contract, which is set to expire next year, Kylian Mbappe may be traded by Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window.

    After appointing Mauricio Pochettino as manager, Chelsea might reconsider making a surprise move to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe. The Argentinean signed a two-year contract with Stamford Bridge, with an option for an additional year. He will start working there on July 1.

    Since leaving PSG at the end of the 2021–2022, when they won the Ligue 1 championship with Mbappe as a key member, Pochettino has been jobless. Pochettino had a difficult 18 months managing several elite players, including Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, so it was not a smooth time as manager in Paris.

    Four months after being fired at Parc des Princes, in November, Pochettino didn’t mince words in his criticism of the French superstar, questioning his maturity and implying that he had a selfish side to his game. Mbappe is still a young player and is younger than Messi and Neymar, according to Pochettino.

    He is a beast. Despite his strong charisma, he still needs to discover who he is.

    Mauricio Pochettino's comments about Chelsea's Kylian Mbappe transfer situation speak volumes.
    “Leo and Ney are complete players. While Kylian continues to look for himself, the others are more responsible in different ways. “.

    Mbappe has changed both as a player and a person since his time with Pochettino, but if Chelsea makes a surprise move for the 24-year-old striker, it seems that he might be more of a hindrance than a help. Mbappe is without a doubt one of the best players in history and has the potential to become even better, but Chelsea may not be able to afford to sign him as they look to create a new ethos and future at Stamford Bridge under Pochettino following a disastrous 2022–23 season.

    Following his decision not to extend his contract at the French team, the PSG star has commented on rumors that he is considering a move to Real Madrid.

    On Tuesday afternoon, the 24-year-old tweeted: “LIES.

    In addition, I have already stated that I will stay at PSG for the upcoming season because I am very happy there. The bigger it is, the faster it moves. “.

    ‘Done’ according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will now confirm its first summer signing next week.
    Fabrizio Romano now asserts that Chelsea will reveal the acquisition of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig the following week.

    Once the deal was finalized late last year for the Blues to sign him, he posted a message on Twitter to confirm the news.

    It has been widely reported that a deal for Nkunku was reached almost immediately after the previous summer transfer window closed.

    Before the season even started, they set him as a target to sign, but they encountered problems when he agreed to a new contract with a Bundesliga team.

    However, rumors started to circulate that the Blues had made attempts to sign him and that his contract with the German club contained a release clause.

    Nkunku is scheduled to begin next week.

    ‘Done’ according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will now confirm its first summer signing next week.
    Romano has now confirmed that the deal will be disclosed after Nkunku has finished competing for his country in a week.

    No modifications, problems, or issues with the Christopher Nkunku deal, he declared.

    ‘Understand Chelsea originally agreed with RB Leipzig to announce Nkunku after his final games of the season with France (June 19). Contract signed in December; medical completed in September (!).
    ”.

    After much silence since they initially thought they had signed him, supporters will be thrilled to hear an announcement for the signing.

    It is now time for the team to move on to other candidates who will be strengthening their team in preparation for new manager Mauricio Pochettino’s attempt to rebuild.

    They appear to have prioritized a deal for Moises Caicedo of Brighton after missing out on the addition of Manuel Ugarte, but this will probably cost them a significant sum of money.

    Mauricio Pochettino already pledged the "next Kylian Mbappe," as Chelsea's $160 million transfer hope was dashed
    Although Todd Boehly has already signed a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea will almost certainly lose the race to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer.

    Mauricio Pochettino has been informed that Chelsea already has his own Kylian Mbappe. Given that his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in a year, the 24-year-old forward’s future there is becoming more and more uncertain, and he is rumored to be moving this summer.

    L’Equipe claims that Mbappe wrote to the Parisians to express his desire to leave Les Parc des Princes after the upcoming season. According to the report, PSG was incensed by the announcement’s timing and has decided to make a profit on the France international rather than take the chance of losing him for nothing in 2024.

    A few hours later, Le Parisien published an article in which it was claimed that Mbappe was eyeing a transfer to Real Madrid. On Twitter, the Frenchman quickly dispelled the rumors of a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu, writing: “At the same time, the bigger it is, the more it passes. I’ve already stated that I’ll stay at PSG, where I’m very happy, for the upcoming season.
    “.

    The New York Times reports that PSG would demand at least £160 million for Mbappe’s signature if he were to leave the French capital this summer, a world record fee. Luckily for Pochettino, Chelsea has already signed Mykhailo Mudryk as a replacement.

    Although Todd Boehly has already signed a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea will almost certainly lose the race to sign Kylian Mbappe
    The former Shakhtar Donetsk and current Dynamo Kyiv boss insisted in a 2017 interview with Emanuel Rosu that the Ukrainian’s “qualities cannot be questioned.”. It will be great to see Mudryk play at a higher level than he is now, according to Mircea Lucescu, who claimed that Mudryk is a carbon copy of Mbappe. His abilities and viewpoints are indisputable. “.

    Mudryk has had trouble making an impression during his first Premier League season, despite displaying flashes of magic. The 22-year-old winger has yet to score his first goal for the Blues and has only played 90 minutes once in the English Premier League.

    He was never given a stretch of games to really get his feet under the table, starting only seven games and coming off the bench in the other eight. However, Chelsea will be hoping that Pochettino, who has been appointed as the team’s new manager, can help Mudryk realize his potential as the next Mbappe given the possibility of a fresh start under his leadership.

    The Ukrainian also seems ready to go above and beyond to improve his performances. The Times reports that Mudryk is prepared to represent his nation in the upcoming European Under-21s Championship in order to regain his form in time for the upcoming season.

    Whether or not he will actually be in the team for the tournament is still up in the air, according to the report, but Chelsea has supported his choice. Mudryk is still eligible for this summer’s competition in Romania and Georgia even though he is a member of the senior squad.

    He will miss the first seven days of Pochettino’s preseason if he leads Ukraine to the Under-21s tournament final.

    As Mauricio Pochettino proposes two fresh players in a swap deal, Chelsea want to increase their offer to Inter Milan.
    Chelsea is looking to add a new goalkeeper this summer, and Andre Onana has been mentioned by Mauricio Pochettino.

    In an effort to sign Andre Onana, Chelsea appear ready to throw everything at Inter Milan. The 27-year-old goalkeeper’s potential transfer to Stamford Bridge has received significant media attention in the wake of his outstanding Inter Milan performances this season.

    Onana, whose San Siro contract expires in 2027, made 41 appearances for Simone Inzaghi’s team and was instrumental in helping the Nerazzurri advance to the Champions League final. Manchester City strolled to victory in Istanbul despite the Cameroon international’s impressive saves and wide-ranging passing abilities.

    football.London is aware that the Blues have been keeping an eye on Onana ever since he played for Ajax a few years ago. The shot-stopper is rumored to be difficult for Inter to let go of, and while he seems content in Milan, Chelsea is considering their options.

    Following the Champions League championship, Onana exclaimed, “I’m so, so happy at Inter.”. “At this professional level, anything can happen. I’m available for Inter, and I’ll go along with whatever they decide. I’m content to be playing for Inter. “.

    As Mauricio Pochettino proposes two fresh players in a swap deal, Chelsea want to increase their offer to Inter Milan.
    Then, shortly after, his agent Albert Botines clarified his client’s position in advance of the following window. Speaking to Italian media outlet TV Play, he said: “Transfer market rumors are typical at this stage, but I prefer not to talk about it because it’s very early and the boy is currently focused solely on the pitch.

    “Inter and we have a five-year contract. The Serie A final and the Champions League final are the only things on his mind right now because he still has four more years left on his contract. Don’t be concerned, he still has a lengthy contract. He is playing for Italy’s top team, which makes him extremely happy. “.

    Pochettino will have a difficult time convincing Onana to sign with him, so The Sun reports that the Blues will offer Kalidou Koulibaly and Romelu Lukaku as part of a part-exchange swap deal. The former, who is still regarded in Italy with the utmost respect, is reportedly the subject of discussions between Chelsea and others.

    According to the report, Lukaku could also be included in a deal for Onana, though the Belgian’s enormous salary may present a problem. Additionally, the on-loan Blues striker didn’t exactly shine in Istanbul after denying Federico Dimarco a golden opportunity to replace him and then having a clear-cut header saved late in the match.

    Mauricio Pochettino makes 11-man decision ahead of Chelsea start with hint at key line-up

    Mauricio Pochettino has named his first XI since becoming Chelsea manager and it contains some surprising names.

    Before he can officially work as the third permanent head coach under Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital, he has other tasks to complete.

    He will take charge of the Soccer Aid World XI at Old Trafford on Sunday for the 2023 edition of the annual charity event and timed his performance perfectly. It will take him nearly three weeks before he starts working at his new club.

    In an ironic duel, Pochettino takes on Chelsea women’s manager Emma Hayes, who is in charge of the England team. However, it was Pochettino’s lineup that caught the most attention, as fans were already quick to analyze his style.

    With former England and Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster in net, Wrexham’s new star has a pretty solid defense ahead of him. Heather O’Reilly starts with Sam Claflin, Roberto Carlos and Mo Gilligan in defense.

    Noah Beck is in midfield alongside Patrice Evra, Maise Adam and Usain Bolt, while Francesco Totti and Hernan Crespo complete the squad.

    While it’s still a bit early to make too many decisions about Pochettino’s tactical choices at Chelsea, his decision to seemingly go for a 4-4-2 in his England debut is something that’s already puzzled fans.

    Mauricio Pochettino makes decision for 11 players before Chelsea start with major formation hint
    The team he will face was chosen by Stormzy and Hayes. The starting XI for England consists of: David James; Gary Neville, Gary Cahill, Bugzy Malone, Tom Hiddleston; Joel Corry, Jill Scott, Jack Wilshere; Tom Grennan, Liam Payne, Jermain Defoe.

    Pochettino not only wants to put on a great show for fans watching and play for a great cause by raising money for UNICEF, but he will soon decide to field a completely different team in a different environment.

    He will be tasked with selling up to 15 players this summer in a bid to massively whittle down his bloated roster ahead of pre-season and next month’s US tour.

    Chelsea are also on the hunt for big-name signings in key areas of the squad, including goal, midfield and attack.

    It’s a tall order for Pochettino, but he’ll be happy to take it on, having enjoyed similar success in a similar position at Tottenham almost a decade ago.

    Chelsea are hoping that he can not only achieve this, but in Soccer Aid they can gain potential comedic confidence.

    Chelsea face another busy summer transfer window, with Mauricio Pochettino officially taking over as manager in July

    Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to sign a new striker, central midfielder and goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, according to football.

    london. However, due to the size of their inflated roster, the Blues need to focus on developing the current squad members.

    There are expected to be many departures from Stamford Bridge this summer, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mateo Kovacic, Conor Gallagher, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek facing an uncertain future.

    N’Golo Kante is set to be the first start after agreeing a deal with Saudi club Al-Ittihad after his contract at Chelsea expired.

    Mason Mount is another player who could leave the club, with Manchester United leading the race to sign the 24-year-old, football.

    london reveals. Pochettino could be forced into more signings than expected, although the Blues recently pulled out of negotiations for a deal to bring Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte to the club.

    Chelsea must also assess the future of Romelu Lukaku, who will return to Stamford Bridge this summer after his loan deal with Inter Milan expires.

    The Italian squad played against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions league and were defeated 1:0. Meeting between the Blues and Inter is reportedly scheduled to discuss Lukaku’s future later this month.

    When Mauricio Pochettino may begin Chelsea transfer business as Inter Milan meeting planned
    The Belgian striker is believed to be keen to stay at San Siro next season – either on another loan or a permanent transfer.

    Chelsea could consider using Lukaku in negotiations over some of Inter’s star players of interest to Pochettino – Andre Onana, Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez have been linked with moves to west London.

    All of that will likely be discussed when the two clubs meet this month – while Trevoh Chalobah and Loftus-Cheek could also feature in a potential swap deal for some Inter players.

    Pochettino has already secured the signing of Ecuadorian talent Kendry Paez – but the youngster won’t join Chelsea until 2025 when he turns 18.

    football.london understands the Blues are pushing for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo but face competition from London rivals Arsenal.

    Chelsea hope that once the Champions League final is over and Inter’s season is over, they can kick off their summer transfer business and try to meet Pochettino’s demands with the new arrivals.

    Latest reports from Italy suggest the Blues have already agreed personal terms with Onana but Inter have set a £50million price tag for their goalkeeper.

    Meanwhile, Barella has been in discussions internally with Chelsea that they should need more than two central midfield signings this summer given the amount of spending they could lose in that position.

    New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has “expressly requested” Chelsea’s board to sign a player, according to a report today.

    The Blues boss won’t officially begin his role until July 1, but he’s already getting down to business and planning his roster for next season.

    We know the squad needs a little more preparation, and it’s the midfield that has been labeled ‘urgent’.

    This was stated by journalist Rudy Galetti, who this week spent a few words with GIVEMESPORT on the situation.

    Galetti says Pochettino has urgently requested Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after Chelsea lost Sporting Lisbon’s Manuel Ugarte last week.

    Galetti said: “Pochettino specifically asked the Brighton player to strengthen the midfield and now, with Kante gone, Moises becomes a matter of urgency.”

    The view from Chelsea News

    Caicedo is a top notch player who has all the tools to become world class.

    He also has vital Premier League experience and would be a great addition to Chelsea’s squad if he replaces Enzo Fernandez in the double pivot under a Pochettino system. It will be expensive but it must be said that it is worth it.

    Mauricio Pochettino needs Harry Kane to sign with Real Madrid, to complete his striker strategy for Chelsea.
    This summer, a number of powerhouse European clubs, including Real Madrid, are looking to add a striker.

    Todd Boehly intensifies his efforts to sign a star striker, which could lead to a transfer merry-go-round for Chelsea.

    Numerous teams, including the Blues, are looking for a leader for their attack for the upcoming campaign.

    Karim Benzema’s choice to sign with Al-Ittihad has compelled Real Madrid to enter the market for the first time in ten years.

    After a disappointing 2022–23 season, it is no secret that Chelsea is also looking for a striker. Just 38 goals separated every club in the top 10 and two of the three relegated teams.

    Chelsea lacks a true striker on their roster despite spending close to £600 million since Roman Abramovich left. Romelu Lukaku’s chances of staging a comeback at Stamford Bridge seem slim, and rumors have it that Inter Milan will try to sign him on a long-term deal.

    Mauricio Pochettino needs Harry Kane to sign with Real Madrid, to complete his striker strategy for Chelsea.
    Lautaro Martinez, another Inter striker, is reportedly a target for Chelsea, according to a report from The Times. Although a swap deal between the two clubs is unlikely, the Blues might need Harry Kane and Tottenham Hotspur’s help to acquire the Argentine.

    According to the report, Real Madrid is also a possible destination for Martinez as they look to replace Benzema. If he does, the rumors of Kane moving to Spain will essentially come to an end. Madrid is currently even money to sign Kane, according to the bookmakers.

    If Martinez is going to come to West London, Mauricio Pochettino may need Real Madrid to raid his old team. Given Kane’s contract situation, according to the Spanish publication Marca, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez will attempt to sign Kane for a reduced fee.

    By doing so, a domino effect might start, which would be ideal for Boehly. If Martinez decides to join the rebuilding of Stamford Bridge, Pochettino will be hoping that his compatriot, who costs £70 million, can be Chelsea’s savior.

    Mauricio Pochettino is keen on signing a new Chelsea goalkeeper as several goalkeepers have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge

    Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to sign a new Stamford Bridge goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, according to football.london.

    The Blues are set to sign one of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy ahead of next season as a number of goalkeepers across Europe are linked with a move to west London.

    Inter Milan’s Andre Onana, Brentford’s David Raya and Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez are all seen as potential targets for Chelsea.

    However, it looks like Pochettino is now interested in bringing a former Arsenal goalkeeper to Stamford Bridge.

    According to TuttoJuve, the Blues face competition from their Premier League rivals after the signing of Juventus star Wojciech Szczesny.

    The Polish keeper left Arsenal in 2017 and has become one of Juve’s key players over the past six years.

    Szczesny’s contract only expires in 2025 which means the Italian side could demand a substantial transfer fee for the 33-year-old to leave the club this summer.

    Chelsea were unconvinced by either Kepa or Mendy last season as both goalkeepers failed to prove they deserved to remain the club’s No.1.

    The Blues haven’t had a world-class goalkeeper at the club since Thibaut Courtois left in 2018 – but Pochettino wants to change that this summer.

    Liverpool and Manchester City have shown with the signings of Alisson and Ederson that a world-class goalkeeper can make the difference.

    According to reports from Italy, the Blues are struggling to agree a transfer fee with Inter for a deal to sign Onana – which could see them focus on Szczesny.

    AC Milan’s Mike Maignan is reportedly not for sale this summer but the Juventus star could be a smart buy for the Blues.

    The sad news for Man United and Liverpool is that Chelsea is “in talks to complete the transfer for £50 million N’Golo Kante replacement.”.

    The sad news for Man United and Liverpool is that Chelsea is "in talks to complete the transfer for £50 million N'Golo Kante replacement.".

    Lavia transferred from Manchester City to the Saints last summer, where he quickly earned a spot on the starting lineup.

    He has since been linked with an immediate return to the Premier League as a result of his impressive performances.

    According to Football London, Chelsea has opened talks with his club about a summer mover after being impressed by him.

    According to the report, a transfer for the Belgian midfielder won’t be cheap because the Saints want to recoup £50 million from the sale.

    The club, which only spent £10 million on Lavia last season, would make an incredible profit.

    Although it won’t take effect until 2024, Man City is rumored to have a buyback option.

    By snatching him up a year early and making him the first signing for new manager Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea will be able to get a jump on their rivals.

    The sad news for Man United and Liverpool is that Chelsea is "in talks to complete the transfer for £50 million N'Golo Kante replacement.".
    Pep Guardiola and the Etihad staff held Lavia in the highest regard.

    In addition to helping the team reach the Carabao Cup semifinals last season, Lavia appeared in 29 Premier League games while making one goal.

    The report also states that a move for Moises Caicedo of Brighton would not be out of the question should Lavia move to Stamford Bridge.

    The teen is one of five well-known players who left St. Mary’s this summer as a result of the drop.

    Top-flight clubs are likely to swoop in and steal stars like James Ward-Prowse, Carlos Alcaraz, Armel Bella-Kotchap, and Tino Livramento.

    Chelsea’s top target is identified by Pep Guardiola as Inter Milan’s most perilous player.

    Chelsea's top target is identified by Pep Guardiola as Inter Milan's most perilous player.Ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final, Pep Guardiola has identified Andre Onana as Inter Milan’s most dangerous player. Onana is a transfer target for Chelsea.

    As he gets ready for the 2023–24 season, new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has made the Cameroonian goalkeeper one of his top summer targets.

    Onana is reportedly a huge fan of Pochettino’s, and the manager is willing to trade Edouard Mendy for cash to sign him to a contract with Inter Milan.

    Since joining the Serie A team last summer on a free transfer from Ajax, the 27-year-old has made a significant impression.

    However, Inter Milan’s current campaign is still active as they attempt to prevent Manchester City from winning an unprecedented treble in Istanbul.

    Before the game, when asked who he thought was Inter Milan’s most dangerous player, City manager Guardiola responded, “For the way they play, with the high press.”.

    ‘Onana is an exceptional goalkeeper to take that position to build-up,’ the coach said.
    Excellent, excellent.
    ’.

    In addition, Guardiola singled out Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni, saying: “All the processes they do… with Bastoni on the left side especially, is exceptional.”.

    The ability to connect with the strikers and make an extra pass. We must make an effort to defend these connections, though I’m not sure how.

    “Use the ball to try and attack.”. Against five at the back, it’s challenging, so we look for a way to solve the problem more effectively. ’.

    To add a defensive midfielder as the team begins a makeover, “Chelsea have opened talks.”

    Chelsea now want to sign the ‘no nonsense’ defender his Club are expecting a bid.

    This summer, Chelsea is reportedly in talks to bring in a new midfielder as they look to upgrade that area of the field.

    We recently had the Manuel Ugarte saga, in which Chelsea was vying for the Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder but fell short to PSG. Romeo Lavia, a defensive midfield starlet for Southampton, is now the focus of Chelsea’s attention, at least as a potential replacement.

    We do not anticipate Chelsea to add just one new midfielder this summer, as Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to rebuild in that position, of course depending on departures.

    Several Twitter users shared the news last night, including Bobby Vincent from Football London, who tweeted the information below.

    Lavia has long been a target for Chelsea, who reportedly had an offer rejected for him last summer. But as you can also see from the tweet up top, Chelsea is still interested in Moises Caicedo and is still pursuing Lavia.

    Pep Guardiola authorizes Chelsea to finalize a £52 million summer move by giving Mauricio Pochettino the go-ahead.
    Chelsea transfer news: Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, gave Mauricio Pochettino a subtly worded piece of summertime advice.

    Before his Manchester City team takes on the Italian giants in the Champions League final, Pep Guardiola has chosen Andre Onana, who Chelsea are interested in signing, as Inter’s top player. The Cameroonian international is essential to Inter’s tactical system, and it appears that Guardiola has given Mauricio Pochettino the go-ahead to sign him for the Blues.

    Football’s goals for the summer transfer window include acquiring a new goalkeeper. London is aware that Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy’s futures at Stamford Bridge are uncertain.

    In between the sticks, Onana seems to be the main target, but Inter doesn’t seem to want to sell, especially in light of the CEO Giuseppe Marotta’s May comments.

    Pep Guardiola authorizes Chelsea to finalize a £52 million summer move by giving Mauricio Pochettino the go-ahead.

    In all honesty, I’d rule out Onana leaving for €40 million (£35 million).
    “I believe he’ll stay.
    Onana is content in Milano and wants to stay there; we have no plans to sell him as we have not received any offers. ”.

    The Blues are said to have started talking to Inter for Onana despite the Serie A team’s adamant stance. According to Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, another meeting between the two parties has already been scheduled because Inter has increased their asking price.

    “At the moment, Inter Milan is asking for €60 million (£52 million) for Andre Onana,” he stated. After the Champions League championship, Chelsea and Inter Milan will meet to discuss Lukaku primarily. Onana, however, will be covered in that. “.

    According to Tuttomercatoweb, Chelsea appears to have already conducted a transfer experiment by sending a €40 million (£35 million) check. According to their report, the bid was swiftly turned down, but negotiations to reach a settlement will go on in the ensuing weeks.

    Pochettino could move on to other goalkeeper targets after their initial offer was rejected, but after hearing Guardiola’s admission about Onana, the Argentine has good reason to want the Brazilian at Stamford Bridge. When asked who was the most dangerous player for Inter, he responded, “For the high press they use in their game. Onana is a superb goalkeeper to take that position to build-up. Absolutely fantastic. “.
