Mauricio Pochettino holds important Chelsea transfer talks for $87m deal amid Moises Caicedo concern

Chelsea transfer news: The Blues’ latest media briefing reacts to stories surrounding Dusan Vlahovic and Moises Caicedo, with the pair strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea talks to Vlahovic

Chelsea are moving forward with plans to speak to Juventus about striker Dusan Vlahovic as they look for a new first-choice striker for Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues have already signed new Senegalese signing Nicolas Jackson and versatile striker Christopher Nkunku, but are really looking for a surefire answer to their goal-scoring problem.

Now Italian journalist Rudy Galetti writes that Chelsea will hold talks with the player and a price of £68m ($87m) has been set.

He writes: “Vlahovic, talks between Chelsea and Juventus are about to begin. The Italian club – without UCL – must sell and has already set its price: around 80 million euros to let him go. Pochettino wants the Serbian striker: the situation is evolving”.

“Everything has been confirmed since mid-June: Chelsea are interested in Vlahovic and are negotiating with Juventus. There will be discussions in the coming days. Pochettino considers Dusan the ideal striker.”

football.london says: We’ve seen it before. Chelsea are looking for a proven striker in Italy as their scoring problem continues to worsen. Romelu Lukaku is among the terrible transfers alongside Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain.

Juventus have a good winning record when Chelsea meet them and although Vlahovic has shown immense skill and quality, it’s hard to shake the feeling that they could do it again here.

The Blues will be hoping he’s just 23 and still has his prime ahead of him, and he certainly fulfills the traits of a potential Pochettino signing. We only fear that every big-name striker will come to the club.

Realistically, however, Jackson is an unknown quantity and unlikely to immediately fill a void that needs to be filled immediately to succeed under Pochettino in season one.

In Vlahovic, he would certainly find a player who would become unbeatable and immensely important; it’s much harder to predict how well that would translate to goals.

Reports have it that Chelsea transfer target Moises Caicedo fears he could be denied a move to Stamford Bridge this summer. The 21-year-old has given the green light to join the Blues but now has to wait for an agreement between the clubs.

The Seagulls are demanding £100m ($128m) for the player after Declan Rice’s Arsenal move fee shapes the midfielder’s market and Caicedo now fears Chelsea won’t match the valuation of Brighton and let it be unchanged.

football.london says: Caicedo has already shown he is willing to stray for a transfer, having in fact submitted an exit request in January.

However, after Chelsea agreed to him being sold in the summer, he has more power than meets the eye. Brighton themselves have proven with Alexis Mac Allister that signing a new deal, as Caicedo did, does not necessarily mean an easy deal is out of the question.

Chelsea now have carte blanche at Caicedo, with Manchester United and Arsenal doing business elsewhere in midfield and the player keen on a move to London.

Everything indicates that a deal is in the works and that should really get things going. Whether the stalemate lasts long enough for a side to concede ahead of pre-season remains to be seen.

What is clear, however, is that it is in the interest of all parties at this time to find common ground in this window to cross the finish line.

Mauricio Pochettino dismisses Premier League attack on Manchester City in first Chelsea interview

Mauricio Pochettino has spoken for the first time since being confirmed as Chelsea’s new manager ahead of the 2023-24 season

Mauricio Pochettino took aim at Manchester City in his first interview as Chelsea manager. The Argentinian signed a two-year contract – with an option for a third – with the club last month and officially began his new role on Saturday 1 July.

Chelsea hope Pochettino can lead the club back into the Champions League and constantly compete for trophies.

The Blues boss has already welcomed Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea finalize transfer matters this summer.

Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz set out for new challenges. More signings and departures are expected as Pochettino looks to freshen up the squad ahead of his crucial first season as manager.

City have set the standard in the Premier League over the past six years, winning five titles and dominating domestic competition. Pep Guardiola’s side scored a historic treble last season and eventually won the Champions League.

Chelsea finished 45 points behind City last Premier League season and Pochettino was tasked with closing the gap early on.

The Argentine is clearly delighted with his chance at Stamford Bridge and has already said everything fans have been dying to hear from his new manager.

In his first Cobham interview, Pochettino delivered a scathing dig at City with some big claims about Chelsea’s history and achievements over the past decade. The 51-year-old said:

“I think it’s important and it’s a winning culture. Chelsea have been the best team in England for 10, 12, 15 years.

“I know the Premier League very well and what the culture of Chelsea means. I think our fans are looking forward to getting back on track and trying to win.”

The Blues are clearly planning a quick return to the top of the Premier League.

Pochettino is pushing to bring in Moises Caicedo from Brighton following the arrivals of Jackson and Nkunku – and Chelsea are hoping the new signings can make a bigger impact than some of their previous signings in the past 12 months.

Tottenham Hotspur is considering a move for the £60 million Chelsea star.

Tottenham Hotspur, a rival team in London, is interested in Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella.

Marc Cucurella, a defender for Chelsea, is reportedly a target for Tottenham Hotspur this transfer window, according to Football Transfers (h/t Evening Standard).

Ivan Perisic, who joined Tottenham from Inter Milan in the summer, is likely to leave north London after just one season and Spurs are looking to replace him in the team.

Chelsea is eager to unload Cucurella during this transfer window after paying more than £60 million to acquire the player from Brighton one year ago. To put it mildly, the Spaniard’s debut for the club wasn’t particularly impressive.

It was revealed a few days ago that the 24-year-old intends to remain at Stamford Bridge and contend for a starting position under the new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Saudi Arabian buyers have been considered by Chelsea. Atletico Madrid had shown interest, but Cucurella’s agent dispelled it as a false rumor.

The former Brighton defender was everywhere in a blue shirt last season. He can play as a left-sided center-back in a three or a left-back in a four. He had trouble on defense and occasionally the home crowd even booed him.

It does seem strange that they want to let go of the player after just one campaign considering how much money they spent on him a year ago. However, it appears that is the way that modern football operates. Ruthless!

Cucurella didn’t have much of an impact here, so selling him to Tottenham won’t hurt either this time. Unless he plays Chelsea, he can go there and hopefully have a successful career.

Although it would be unrealistic to ask Spurs to pay what Chelsea did for the Spaniard last year, he is still worth a good portion of that, so the price would be crucial in this potential deal.

More news……..

Two Serie A sales could determine Lukaku’s future; the striker’s 10 goals could be crucial.

It was obvious that it was “club briefing Saturday” when suddenly several journalists covering Chelsea reported that Inter had had their most recent offer for the forward rejected and that Chelsea wanted €45 million for him.

It appears that both Juventus and the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are thinking about making an offer at that value.

Don’t discount Inter just yet, though. They appear to be close to transferring goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United, which would finally give them some extra cash for spending.

In a similar vein, Juventus’ purchase of Lukaku is unlikely unless they can find a home for Dusan Vlahovic, their most recent experiment with the number 9. In Serie A last season, the Serb scored 10 goals, matching Lukaku’s total.

In spite of our desire to get rid of Lukaku as soon as possible, we might need to practice patience and wait until those other deals are completed.

Except, of course, if the Belgian decides to move to Saudi Arabia after all.

In the midst of a Liverpool transfer rumor, Mauricio Pochettino confirms Levi Colwill talks with Chelsea

Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, has been linked to a permanent move away from Stamford Bridge throughout this summer. Mauricio Pochettino has provided an update.

Levi Colwill’s place in the team for Thursday’s game against Chelsea has been discussed, according to Mauricio Pochettino.

From other Premier League football teams, such as Liverpool, Colwill is the focus of a lot of interest. London is aware of the Reds’ repeated inquiries about the defender this week. Colwill, however, is still not up for sale, according to Chelsea.

At the European Championships, the 20-year-old is playing for England’s Under-21 team. On Saturday night, the young Three Lions will play Spain in the competition’s championship match, with Chelsea winger Noni Madueke joining Colwill on the field.

“We spoke with Levi and Noni yesterday. Noni, a Tottenham player in the Under-18s, is one that I am familiar with. In his first press conference as Chelsea’s head coach, Pochettino said, “Of course, I know Levi.

“I hope tomorrow will be a good day for them.
True, the fact that they are in Spain makes it challenging for me.
We send them our best wishes. We are anticipating their addition to the group. They probably will fly to America and join us there. “.

Liverpool is seeking any kind of motivation to sign Colwill to a contract. But Chelsea is determined to get the Cobham grad a new, long-term contract at Stamford Bridge in the near future.

In his first few days as head coach, Pochettino has already met a significant number of his new players at Cobham. When the Argentine was questioned about his goals at Stamford Bridge, he simply stated that winning is the reason he accepted the position.

“Winning is my goal,” he stated. You can’t just talk about doing a good job and playing well when you’re at a club like Chelsea. Obviously, we must prevail. “

Paulo Dybala is in Mauricio Pochettino’s ideal Chelsea starting lineup against Liverpool, with 6 transfers already official.

News regarding Chelsea transfers: Mauricio Pochettino is planning more changes, so when the Blues play Liverpool in August, they will look very different.

Chelsea is getting ready for some significant changes. In addition to losing 10 first-team players already in the last seven months, they have also had two permanent manager changes during that time.

There is a shift toward a younger side, though this is nothing new for the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital administration. There is a very real possibility that only three of the starting lineup from the match against Liverpool at home on the first day of the new season will be present this time around.

Due to the disastrous conclusion to the previous campaign, the majority of the players who were sold this window had already been exiled. Kalidou Koulibaly was hurt, Edouard Mendy was barely a thought, Mateo Kovacic was a replacement, and Joao Felix was the same.

Hakim Ziyech stayed on the sidelines while Christian Pulisic came off the bench. Mason Mount and N’Golo Kante were unable to attend due to injury, but Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek did. The squad that day was 25.9 years old on average. Even though it was below the season’s average overall, the group that Jurgen Klopp’s team might face off against is positively a generation older.

In just this transfer window, four players aged 30 or older have left the club; Jorginho moved to Arsenal in January; and the prospective new hires are all baby faces or much younger. Christopher Nkunku, who is 25 years old, may end up being the group’s most seasoned addition.

It’s a potentially risky move on the part of the team, but Mauricio Pochettino is a coach who excels in pressure situations and takes great pride in grooming eager, young players into a cohesive, spirited team.

Kepa Arrizabalaga

There does not seem to be much activity in goal because Chelsea seems to be putting more emphasis on other positions. Kepa had his best individual season in 2022–2023; coupled with his ball-handling prowess, he makes for a solid choice for Pochettino.

Even though many will point to his lackluster performance over the course of his five years at SW6, the club has only once finished in the top four when he was a first-choice option. However, spending more on other players may well justify his place in the lineup.

Reece James.

When in shape, he ranks among the best in the world at his position. Simply put, the Cobham graduate will be essential to any success given Pochettino’s reliance on full-backs as an attacking output. As the captain, he might also take on a new position.

Wesley Fofana.

Fofana is another player who struggles with fitness, but when he performs well, he demonstrates why Chelsea lavished money on bringing him in last year. The Frenchman will undoubtedly play a key role in a back-three or back-four.

Levi Colwill.

The left center-back position is one with fierce competition. Benoit Badiashile has shown great promise, but he is currently injured, and Colwill is regarded as one of the stars of the future. Thiago Silva is still playing. It makes perfect sense to trust him right away and resist the pressure of transfer because he is a left-footed academy graduate.

Benjamin Chilwell.

Chilwell is the first choice and absolutely essential in this backline, injuries being a constant concern. The 26-year-old is a lock for every game when available because he is another who can play as an attacking full-back and wing-back.

Mesa Caicedo.

Caicedo, the team’s first new acquisition, is still receiving attention from Chelsea as they continue their search for a technically sound anchor. He is unquestionably viewed as the most likely addition at this point and is the ideal choice to work alongside his new partner in a dominating duo.

Enzo Fernández.

When Fernandez plays next to Caicedo, Chelsea receives a combination of energy and control both in and out of possession that they have recently lacked from their midfield pivots. They have the right mix of abilities to stand in front of the defense and move the ball forward simultaneously. For all managers at this time, he is simply impossible to drop.

Christopher Nkunku

This is where it gets exciting, with new signing number two. Nkunku, one of the world’s most entertaining and productive players, can play anywhere along the front line and can also fill in as a central forward when necessary. He is on the right in this 4-2-3-1 formation so that we can add more young players.

He should ideally be behind the striker, but with a player like Nkunku, it might not matter.

Paulo Dybala.

A player who Pochettino has long admired and who nearly joined his Tottenham team in 2019 is Dybala.
He is another Argentine to benefit from the new South American connection.
Football here is the phantom striker.
He is expected to arrive in London from Rome.

Raheem Sterling

Mykhailo Mudryk, a tight player on the left, is possibly the rogue, maverick option, but Sterling is a player that Pochettino is sure to admire, and keeping some source of stability in a changing attack will help Chelsea in this situation.

Nick Jackson.

Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane, or Rasmus Hojlund are three candidates who we would adore to see. We’ll give Nicolas Jackson the benefit of the doubt for the time being even though it could ultimately be Dusan Vlahovic or another outsider.
He has a lot of creative inspiration all around him.

The age average for the Dream Chelsea XI is 24.1

Chelsea is getting closer to Mauricio Pochettino’s goal with two confirmed transfers and a £38 million decision.

Chelsea transfer news: With Christian Pulisic set to leave, two more deals have been confirmed, allowing Mauricio Pochettino to capitalize on a strong market position.

Todd Boehly is assisting Chelsea with their squad purge this summer, and the most recent transactions reveal a noticeable shift in strategy.

Unlike previous iterations of Chelsea, which failed to sell their underperforming stars, the current administration has been proactive in their sales process, which has resulted in declining value, long-term wage commitments, and a bloated squad build-up.

The playing group that Mauricio Pochettino had at his disposal had to be eliminated, but the speed with which the new recruitment directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, have completed this window’s work is largely unprecedented.

In the first three weeks, eight members of the team from last year have been fired or sold, with Jorginho getting ahead of the pack in January. Even more amazing is the fact that some of the players who are most likely to leave have not yet been shipped out.

Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi will leave soon. Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will unquestionably play their football outside of Stamford Bridge next season.

It will be difficult to recoup significant fees for this group of players, especially since those who have already left have either been acquired by rival teams for sizable sums of money or targeted by the new Saudi Pro League emerging market. The market and marketability for Ziyech, Lukaku, and Co. are less clear.

However, Christian Pulisic firmly belongs in the first group.
Now that he has agreed to a £18 million transfer to AC Milan, he will follow Ruben Loftus-Cheek to the San Siro this summer. Additionally, Pulisic is the most recent player to travel to Italy on a growing list of athletes.

Pulisic, who has a five-year contract at SW6 but will end it in order to complete a move that is anticipated to cost around £20 million, is seeking a new challenge after Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud. Chelsea may be eager to not only profit from but also take advantage of a positive relationship between the sides as they prepare for life without Pulisic.

It’s difficult to ignore the continued interest in Mike Maignan as teams search for a new goalkeeper this summer. football.London is aware of this admiration for the France goalkeeper, but a transfer is unlikely.

Although Maignan is one of the best players in the world at his position, he also commands a salary commensurate with his talent and is not expected to be wearing the gloves at Stamford Bridge next year. As the seasons progress and concerns about Kepa Arrizabalaga’s long-term future with the team persist, a budding partnership with Milan could assist in making a deal feasible.

Rafael Leao is another outstanding prospect that exists elsewhere. Even though Chelsea has been seriously interested in him for the past 18 months, he only recently signed a new contract at San Siro earlier this year. The recent boardroom shuffle has made an immediate exit from his position unlikely despite his enormous release clause.

The open lines of communication that have benefited the 2021 Italian Champions are something that the owners will once again be keen to take advantage of. Milan are more likely to be vigilant when it comes to selling their own players than signings Chelsea’s.

After 11 seasons at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s departure is confirmed, leaving Cesar Azpilicueta in tears.

Cesar Azpilicueta, the captain of Chelsea, left the club after 11 trophy-filled seasons with the Blues and signed a one-year contract with Atletico Madrid.

Cesar Azpilicueta announced his transfer to Atletico Madrid while bidding a tearful farewell to Chelsea.

After 11 years at Stamford Bridge, the Spaniard, who joined as a relatively unknown player from Marseille for just £7m, will bring the curtain down on his time there. Azpilicueta became the only player in club history to win every award available while playing in west London.

The 33-year-old has decided that the time is right to bid the club farewell as they go through a significant player turnover, but his emotional attachment to the club is evident to all as he gets ready to leave after more than 500 appearances in blue.

It’s hard to put into words what I feel, said Azpiliceuta, who broke down in tears as soon as the video started. Just saying thanks to everyone because it’s been wonderful. I hope to welcome everyone back here one day because this is my home. “.

The adaptable defender had to make a name for himself in a locker room with leaders like Petr Cech, John Terry, and Frank Lampard when he joined the team a year after the club’s Champions League triumph. The locker room was jam-packed with football and club legends. I was aware that I had to work hard to earn my place, Azpilicueta said.

Azpilicueta, who began his career at Osasuna, has signed a one-year contract with La Liga powerhouse Atletico.

After taking over as captain, the Spaniard’s departure leaves new manager Mauricio Pochettino searching for a replacement. After defeating Benfica to win the Europa League in its inaugural season, Azpiliceuta went on to repeat as champions six years later in Baku.

We are bidding an emotional farewell to a Chelsea great.

Thank you for everything, @CesarAzpi. 💙 pic.twitter.com/wHDcALJX5m

— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 6, 2023

The Spaniard alternated between playing in a back four and a back three, switching between a variety of positions. He won his first Premier League championship in 2015, during Jose Mourinho’s second term, and his second two years later, under Antonio Conte. When Azpilicueta won his sole FA Cup, the Italian also captained Chelsea.

With the Spaniard starting as one of a back three, they won the Champions League in 2021. A few months later, he was able to celebrate victories in the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

“Cesar leaves an everlasting mark at Chelsea, as a warrior, as a champion, and as loyal Chelsea legend,” the club’s chairman Todd Boehly and co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali said on the club’s website. He has been the club’s standard-bearer for more than a decade and has shown everyone what is necessary to succeed consistently.

Coaches and former and current teammates have confidence in him to serve as captain and set an example for the team. We are appreciative of what he has done, both on and off the field, to be so impeccable. Cesar is always welcome to return to Stamford Bridge for that and a lot more. “.

Following the Moises Caicedo talks, Chelsea experiences transfer setbacks with Arsenal and Liverpool.

This summer, with Chelsea concentrating on Moises Caicedo, Arsenal and Liverpool have both surpassed the Blues in the race to sign highly regarded Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia.

In the race to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton this summer, Arsenal and Liverpool have both edged out Chelsea.

football.London has learned that Chelsea and Saints had preliminary discussions about a potential transfer for the Belgian midfielder last month, but interest has reportedly waned recently. With Manchester City having a £40 million buy-back option that becomes available next summer, Southampton is asking for £50 million for Lavia.

The 19-year-old defensive midfielder is still a target for Chelsea, but at the moment, at least in terms of the midfield, they are focused on Brighton’s Moises Caicedo. The Ecuadorian international, who has verbally agreed to move to Stamford Bridge on personal terms, has recently reopened negotiations with the Seagulls.

Chelsea’s challenge, however, is reaching a deal with Brighton, who have a reputation for being shrewd negotiators when it comes to offloading their star players in recent transfer windows. Caicedo’s desire to leave the team was discussed with Roberto De Zerbi throughout the season, but Brighton are asking for around £80 million for him, and Chelsea do not want to pay that amount as a one-time fee.

As they have done over the past 12 months with players like Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Wesley Fofana, the Blues would prefer to structure the deal in a different way. When negotiating with Brighton, the residents of west London would want to add extras and potential bonuses.

Chelsea’s attention has been directed toward acquiring Caicedo, so their interest in Lavia has been put on hold—at least for the time being. Following the Saints’ relegation to the Championship, both Liverpool and Arsenal have recently spoken with Southampton to discuss the future of the Belgian international.

The Gunners intend to make a move for Lavia in the upcoming weeks while also completing the more than £100 million acquisition of Declan Rice. Ahead of the upcoming season, Liverpool, who has already added Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to their midfield ranks, is also looking to add Lavia.

Football was informed by a source.
This is bad news for Chelsea as it follows reports from London that negotiations with Liverpool regarding a move to Anfield have “gone well” lately. Although Chelsea hasn’t been completely eliminated from the running, the Lavia deal is becoming less and less likely as time goes on because Caicedo is now the center of attention.

In the midst of a Liverpool transfer rumor, Mauricio Pochettino confirms Levi Colwill talks with Chelsea.

Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, has been linked to a permanent move away from Stamford Bridge throughout this summer. Mauricio Pochettino has provided an update.

Levi Colwill’s place in the team for Thursday’s game against Chelsea has been discussed, according to Mauricio Pochettino.

From other Premier League football teams, such as Liverpool, Colwill is the focus of a lot of interest. London is aware of the Reds’ repeated inquiries about the defender this week. Colwill, however, is still not up for sale, according to Chelsea.

Moree news…….,

Erling Haaland is evidence that Dominik Szoboszlai can help Jürgen Klopp unleash an $82 million Liverpool player.

Darwin Nunez has yet to live up to expectations at Liverpool. However, Jürgen Klopp’s most recent additions might be about to bring out the best in the Uruguayan.

Darwin Nunez will be the first to admit that during his first season at Liverpool, things haven’t exactly gone as he had hoped.

Although the Uruguayan has demonstrated a lot of promise, he hasn’t quite found his footing in Jürgen Klopp’s squad.

However, it was always going to take time.
Nunez was a long-term commitment for Liverpool, and his first season was always going to be difficult because he had never played in England and was still learning the language.

The forward was signed for an initial $82 million (£64 million/€75 million), had never played in England, and was still learning the language.

Every forward won’t go off like Erling Haaland, though. Even Luis Suárez, a legendary goal scorer for Liverpool and Nunez’s countryman, took a few seasons before he started to really contribute to the team’s goals.

Another example is Victor Osimhen, who scored just 10 goals in his debut season at Napoli despite being one of the best forwards in the world right now.

With four assists added in, Nunez’s total of 15 goals is not a bad performance in this regard for the Uruguayan forward.

But it makes sense that he will aim to increase those numbers even further the following season.

And he has the standing to continue doing just that.
Nunez frequently needs time to settle in and make adjustments before he can get going.

In his first season at Benfica and at UD Almera in Spain, he exhibited the same traits.
Nunez’s former coach at Almera, David Badia, gave an interview to Liverpool .
com last season and outlined why he persisted and never gave up in order to start scoring goals for the Spanish team on a regular basis.

Coaches adore players like him because they are open to listening and working, according to Badia.
“People you know are listening when you speak, and they don’t assume they already know everything.

He also strives to become a better player every day.
At Almera, he was seeking advice on how to perform better in training each day.
Naturally, when he missed out on some training exercises, he was unhappy about it and made efforts to change and become better each day.
That will position him well for the upcoming season.

Dominik Szoboszlai’s entrance will be one more.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold now on Liverpool’s right side, the Hungarian might be about to unleash the best of Nez in the upcoming campaign.

Szoboszlai is known for his originality and has collaborated with players who are similar to Nez in the past. He combined 12 times at Salzburg with Patson Daka, with whom he formed a terrifying trio alongside Erling Haaland. Christopher Nkunku and Andre Silva received assists at RB Leipzig thanks in large part to Szoboszlai.

For the Hungarian national team, he frequently teamed up with number nine dám Szalai, who was also a tall and athletic forward before retiring earlier this year, to score goals.

When Nez and Haaland traveled to England for large sums of money last summer, comparisons were made that weren’t fair but were nonetheless valid. Szoboszlai is able to identify both as number nines who enjoy slipping into the spaces behind them. Relationships between Szoboszlai and Haaland (and the others) show how much he enjoys having a goalscorer who is that willing to assist him.

Szoboszlai has the potential to help someone like Nez succeed because of his crossing prowess, set-piece specialization, and vision from open space to produce defense-splitting passes. The Hungarian may even be able to bring out the best in Liverpool’s most expensive summer signing by season’s end.

Mauricio Pochettino now have two words to describe Liverpool as a team

Mauricio Pochettino has praised Liverpool as a team ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League opener against the Reds next month.

Speaking to the Blues’ official website, the Argentina manager has praised Jurgen Klopp’s side as Chelsea begin pre-season preparations for the upcoming season, which will see the western side of London take on Liverpool in the first match of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

Pochettino was a surprise appointment as Graham Potter’s long-term replacement at Chelsea this summer, but Liverpool are fully aware of what awaits them in the new season this summer with the former PSG and Tottenham manager.

In fact, Pochettono played countless times against Liverpool during his time at Spurs and Southampton and the Argentine is well aware of the Reds’ quality.

The Chelsea manager said: “We will be ready for the first game against Liverpool and it will be so exciting to have the first Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.”

“At Liverpool we will face a very good team, I know that very well from the past. Now it is important to visualize us at Stamford Bridge. We know the stadium very well and we know that together with the fans we create a good atmosphere.”

Pochettino is right to fear Liverpool ahead of their Premier League debut

Chelsea and Liverpool go into the new Premier League season hoping to do better than both clubs managed last season, and for Pochettino, the Blues manager is smart in recognizing the threat ahead in the opening game of the season.

As we know, both clubs are keen to get back into the top four and possibly go one step further by challenging for the Premier League title. And Pochettino could make a dream start at Chelsea by playing against Liverpool at Bridge next month.

How Liverpool could line up against Chelsea on the opening day following the transfers of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai

Long distance forecasts on how Liverpool can start the opening day after new summer emissions against Chelsea “The newly watched midfielder must be exposed”

‘New-look midfield must be unleased’

Paul Gorst: Although a trip to Chelsea is not a cheap match for the first game of the new season, Liverpool received a happy break in this Premier League season.

The Londoners will not approach the bizarre underperformance of the season.
Consequently, a newly related Liverpool midfielder on August 13 with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai must simply be unleashed in Chelsea.

The most important thing for me is what to do with the central back? Andy Robertson’s idea as an auxiliary center is not ideal, but without a new leftist defender in the club, Klopp returns in a back orthodox flat? Either way, the idea of Mac Allister and Szoboszlai pulling the strings in two reel number 8s is appealing.

Two new signings unleashed

Joe Rimmer: Looks like we’re going full steam ahead with Liverpool’s 3-2-2-3 after the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister and

Dominik Szoboszlai.

But does that mean they will both be in Chelsea’s opening day starting line-up?

Much will, of course, depend on preparation for the season, but Liverpool have not signed either player on the bench and while it is tempting to perhaps lighten up the other, both will be able to take part in a full pre-season run on the season. so it is realistic to include them from the start.

Any other new signing in midfield will, in my view, remain on the bench for the first few months of the season with Fabinho preferred, injuries and form allowed of course.

The defense and the goalkeeper keep getting up, but Klopp has a small dilemma ahead. Will it be a new beginning for Darwin Nunez or will the Uruguayan have to fight his way back? I approach the latter.

“Szoboszlai and Jones get the nod”

Sean Bradbury: Liverpool’s summer deals so far all point to Jurgen Klopp building his 3-2-2-3 experiment.

This raises some interesting long-term questions for a potential Opening Day squad at Chelsea. In the back, that’s sure to be a go-to if everyone’s fit. Alisson in goal, followed by Andy Roberson, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

The two main players are likely to be Fabinho and Trent Alexander-Arnold unless other signings are considered.
Then it gets interesting.

In attacking midfield, I assume only one of the newcomers will be in the starting XI. Alexis Mac Allister is the obvious contender given his league experience, but I’ll bring in Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai.

It’s a tricky away game but let’s see what the Hungarian has in his closet – maybe a long-range shot to promote himself to a flyer?
Up front, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah occupy the wing positions, with Cody Gakpo in the middle.

My team: Alisson; Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho; Szoboszlai, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.
“Mac Allister Made Debut”

Keifer MacDonald: If Jurgen Klopp and his side want to take something away from last season’s mistakes, it is that the Premier League offers little time for transition as the race for Champions League qualification appears to be contested by up to seven teams is denied.

The early additions of Mac Allister and Szoboszlai mean the Reds boss will have nearly five weeks of training with his new mega signings before his side take on Chelsea on 13 August.

Hypothetically, this means Liverpool will be spoiled for choice when it comes to the center of the park, with Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara joining the league having last returned from injuries at the end of the season.

Defensively, after an 11-game unbeaten run since April, the goalkeeper and back-line will surely choose for themselves. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if a midfield consisting of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Alexis Mac Allister, who all know the needs of the Premier League, take the credit on Opening Day.

Up front, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo remain the Reds’ top two picks in that division, while Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez fight for the final starting spot. This time I’m backing the Colombian to make up for lost time from last campaign with an energetic performance in west London.

My team: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Mac Allister; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.

Dybala signs, Caicedo done: Pochettino can create perfect Chelsea XI with clever £10.3m transfer

Chelsea still appear to be looking for a new striker this summer, with Mauricio Pochettino keen to further strengthen his front line next season

Mauricio Pochettino could put together the perfect starting lineup for Chelsea with the signing of Paulo Dybala. The 29-year-old forward has been heavily linked with his departure from AS Roma this summer after a handful of high-profile performances.

Dybala, who will see his contract at the Stadio Olimpico expire in 2025, made 25 appearances for Jose Mourinho’s side in Serie A last season, directly contributing 19 goals. His impressive performances for the Italian giants have reportedly sparked interest from some top clubs across Europe and he could be available for as little as €12m (£10.3m).

According to Italian journalist Matteo De Santis, quoted by RomaPress, Chelsea are considering a move for Dybala, which was expressly requested by Pochettino. The report said Roma are not worried about the Blues’ interest and remain confident of keeping it next season.

That said, football.london has examined what the Blues could be like under Pochettino after just two major transfers.

Training

Pochettino is known for his progressive approach. Over the years he has mostly preferred a 4-2-3-1 that resembles a 4-3-3 in attack and a 4-4-2 in defense.

Doorman

Despite the occasional flashes of brilliance, Kepa has struggled to impress since he joined Chelsea for a record fee a few years ago. But with Pochettino looking happy with Spanish for now, the Blues are prioritizing other business.

Defence

Ben Chilwell should be favored at left-back next season, with Reece James playing a mirror image at right. As a centre-back, Pochettino has a wealth of options at his disposal in the form of Levi Colwill, Benoit Badishile, Wesley Fofana and Thiago Silva.

Midfield

If Chelsea can team up with Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo, the Argentinian can finally move up to No.

8. The South American duo can play a double pivot and sit behind Christopher Nkunku, who is likely to support Nicolas Jackson as a lone striker. In the absence of the Frenchman, Dybala can substitute and play a similar role. As for the wings, Mykhailo Mudryk should be used as an outlet on the left side.

However, the 22-year-old faces stiff competition from Raheem Sterling. On the right, Noni Madueke is a strong option, but the arrival of Dybala would certainly throw a spanner in the works.

Attack

Chelsea have been in desperate need of a dynamic striker for some years. The Blues struggled to replace Didier Drogba and Diego Costa, with only Olivier Giroud coming close to success.

In the next season, Pochettino will have Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja at his disposal. While Dybala would probably prefer some sort of key role, he’s unlikely to remove Nkunku from the No. 1 role. 10 or any of the aforementioned duets atop the surprise lineup.
Queue

Kepa Arrizbalaga; Ben Chilwell, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Reece James; Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo; Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Paulo Dybala; Nicola Jackson.

Following the Moises Caicedo talks, Chelsea experiences transfer setbacks with Arsenal and Liverpool.

This summer, with Chelsea concentrating on Moises Caicedo, Arsenal and Liverpool have both surpassed the Blues in the race to sign highly regarded Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia.

In the race to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton this summer, Arsenal and Liverpool have both edged out Chelsea.

football.London has learned that Chelsea and Saints had preliminary discussions about a potential transfer for the Belgian midfielder last month, but interest has reportedly waned recently. With Manchester City having a £40 million buy-back option that becomes available next summer, Southampton is asking for £50 million for Lavia.

The 19-year-old defensive midfielder is still a target for Chelsea, but at the moment, at least in terms of the midfield, they are focused on Brighton’s Moises Caicedo. The Ecuadorian international, who has verbally agreed to move to Stamford Bridge on personal terms, has recently reopened negotiations with the Seagulls.

Chelsea’s challenge, however, is reaching a deal with Brighton, who have a reputation for being shrewd negotiators when it comes to offloading their star players in recent transfer windows. Caicedo’s desire to leave the team was discussed with Roberto De Zerbi throughout the season, but Brighton are asking for around £80 million for him, and Chelsea do not want to pay that amount as a one-time fee.

As they have done over the past 12 months with players like Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Wesley Fofana, the Blues would prefer to structure the deal in a different way. When negotiating with Brighton, the residents of west London would want to add extras and potential bonuses.

Chelsea’s attention has been directed toward acquiring Caicedo, so their interest in Lavia has been put on hold—at least for the time being. Following the Saints’ relegation to the Championship, both Liverpool and Arsenal have recently spoken with Southampton to discuss the future of the Belgian international.

The Gunners intend to make a move for Lavia in the upcoming weeks while also completing the more than £100 million acquisition of Declan Rice. Ahead of the upcoming season, Liverpool, who has already added Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to their midfield ranks, is also looking to add Lavia.

Football was informed by a source.
This is bad news for Chelsea as it follows reports from London that negotiations with Liverpool regarding a move to Anfield have “gone well” lately. Although Chelsea hasn’t been completely eliminated from the running, the Lavia deal is becoming less and less likely as time goes on because Caicedo is now the center of attention.

Paul Merson instructs Mauricio Pochettino to replace a Chelsea star as he names his ideal summer acquisition.

Paul Merson has instructed Mauricio Pochettino to take over for Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga, claiming that one ideal summer signing would elevate the Blues to title contender status.

After deciding to become Chelsea’s sixth permanent manager in five years at the end of the previous campaign, Pochettino officially assumed control at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

The Argentine has a challenging task ahead of him because, despite spending nearly £600 million on transfers in the previous year, Chelsea only finished 12th in the Premier League last season.

Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy are among the first-team regulars that Chelsea has sold this summer. They also left Stamford Bridge.

The fact that Mendy left suggests that Pochettino will continue to use Arrizabalaga as his starting goalkeeper. Although Merson thinks Chelsea are “crying out” for a new goalkeeper, no. 1 next season.

Merson stated to Sky Sports that Chelsea are in desperate need of a new goalkeeper. You require a goalkeeper who will help you score points. When you have one, you can quickly advance in the league.

David De Gea is criticized mercilessly at Manchester United for dropping goals, but he scores many goals for them and likely saves more goals than he concedes.

Chelsea’s midfield also needs reinforcements desperately. There is no one left. All they have are possibly three midfielders—Enzo Fernandez, Conor Gallagher, and Moises Caicedo—at the club, and there are rumors of a Moises Caicedo arrival.

As we sit here, you could say that Mauricio Pochettino “pulled up trees” if Chelsea finishes in the top four despite only having signed Caicedo. ’.

Merson asserts that Pochettino’s reunion with Tottenham captain Harry Kane would be a game-changer and that Chelsea must sign new midfielders and a striker this summer.

According to the former Arsenal star, “They need midfielders and a center-forward.”. Harry Kane is the only player currently playing who elevates Chelsea to a new level.

He inspires Chelsea to once more contend for the league championship. Because of how much of a difference Kane would make for Chelsea, if they didn’t place in the top four, something would be wrong.

“He scored 30 league goals for Tottenham, for Tottenham, last season.”. He practically has to do everything himself, including playing with whom at Spurs. I dread to think how many goals he will score if he stays at Spurs for the upcoming season with James Maddison playing there.

The thought of Kane joining Bayern Munich gives me the willies. Why would you go? What for?’ I asked myself after coming within 47 goals of Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record and before heading to Bayern to help them win the Bundesliga for the 97th consecutive season.

With a star that cost £34 million, Chelsea has made “zero progress” at Stamford Bridge.

With a star that cost £34 million, Chelsea has made “zero progress” at Stamford Bridge.

According to writer Paul Brown for GIVEMESPORT, there has been no progress made by Chelsea and Inter Milan in regards to the sale of Romelu Lukaku.

Since his return to Stamford Bridge, the Belgian forward has had difficulty.

Romelu Lukaku: recent Chelsea transfer news.

Lukaku, who according to Transfermarkt is worth approximately £34 million, spent the previous season on loan at Inter Milan.

The previous year, the 30-year-old returned to Chelsea, but he found it difficult to have an impact in the Premier League.

According to a recent report by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Inter are getting ready to start new negotiations with the west London club in order to bring Lukaku back to the San Siro.

According to Rudy Galetti, who works for GIVEMESPORT, Chelsea is trying to persuade Romelu Lukaku to leave the club and move to Saudi Arabia, possibly as a result of the exorbitant player acquisition costs some Middle Eastern clubs are charging.

It makes sense that Lukaku’s current club, Stamford Bridge, would want to sell him during the summer transfer window given that he is reportedly paid £350,000 per week.

Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who oversaw the team last year, previously referred to the former Everton striker as “world-class.”.

How has Brown responded to Lukaku?

According to Brown, there has been no progress in the negotiations between Inter and Chelsea regarding Lukaku.

According to the journalist, it is likely that the Blues will allow Lukaku to leave on loan at a later time during the transfer window.

He said: “No, as far as I’m aware, Inter and Lukaku have made no progress. Given that Chelsea invested so much money in him, it is a challenging decision.

“I don’t believe Inter are even remotely interested in shelling out a significant sum of money to bring Lukaku back, and they are aware that Chelsea will almost certainly accept another loan by the time the transfer window closes.

“So, it appears that outcome is the most likely one at this time. “.

What will happen to Lukaku next?

Lukaku started just 16 Premier League games for Chelsea the season before he was loaned out to Inter; during that time, he scored eight goals while recording no assists.

Even though the Belgian international received a fair return, it was obvious that things didn’t work out for him because less than a year after joining, he was permitted to leave on a temporary basis.

It’s probably time for both parties to move on, even though Chelsea could use a natural center-forward, but it won’t be simple for the Blues to recoup their investment after spending £97.5m on the striker.

Chelsea: $13 million player will have a medical at Stamford Bridge in the “next 24 to 48 hours.”

The £13million star is due to undergo medical treatment at Chelsea within the next 24-48 hours.

Chelsea have now completed the signing of Santos youngster Angelo Gabriel, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has told GIVEMESPORT exclusively.

The 18-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in world football and a good fit for Chelsea’s strategy under Todd Boehly.
Chelsea Transfer News – Angelo Gabriel

According to Transfermarkt, Angelo was active to some degree for Santos’ first team for around four seasons, making 67 appearances for the club, scoring three goals and providing seven assists.

To have so many games under his belt at such a young age is an impressive achievement and a credit to his talent. In June, The Athletic reported Chelsea had accepted an offer of around £13m for Angelo, who is close to signing a five-year contract with the club before being loaned out to French side Strasbourg.

Speaking to talkSPORT, South American pundit Tim Vickery explained how Angelo has endured a tough season at Santos, but he undoubtedly has tremendous talent.
He said:

“His career is kind of stalled and it’s up to managing the man at Chelsea with Mauricio Pochettino and whatnot to get him back on track because he’s been classed as an amazing talent for a long time, but we all know that c There’s a huge difference that way between the promise and the reality.”

What did Fabrizio Romano say about Angelo?

Romano has suggested that a deal is now in place to bring Angelo to Stamford Bridge and that he will travel to England to sign the contract and complete his medical tests.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “Yes, it’s done for Angelo. I think the player will be arriving in England this week from what I’ve heard. In the next 24 to 48 hours he will travel to England to complete the second part of his medical tests.

“The first part had already been done in Brazil and then the contract was signed.”

What’s going on at Chelsea?
Since Boehly took over at Chelsea, his recruitment strategy has focused primarily on emerging young stars from around the world.

The Blues have signed Diego Moreira, Carney Chukwuemeka, Andrey Santos, Gabriel Slonina, Malo Gusto, Noni Madueke and David Datro Fofana – each player aged 20 or younger. Now that Angelo has been added to the list, it’s clear where Boehly Chelsea want to go.

Of course, one or the other superstar comes through the door, but the club want to build for the long term.

Chelsea announce important new partnership amid sponsor deadline and pre-season decision

Chelsea are yet to announce their new front shirt sponsor for the 2023/24 season, with the deal with Three presumably already finalized

Chelsea have announced that Hilton will become the club’s official partner hotel. The news comes with uncertainty as to who will be the West London team’s shirt sponsor next season.

The Blues’ deal with Three was expected to close at the end of the 2022/23 season, but the sponsor is currently still acknowledged on Chelsea’s website, with reports recently surfacing that Stake would be the club’s next sponsor, after being made another deal. been blocked.

The expectation that Stake, an online casino, would become the title sponsor was widely criticized when the Premier League reached a collective agreement that from the 2025/26 season gambling sponsors would no longer be used.

The opportunity has also met with some frustration due to the work the Chelsea Foundation is doing to raise awareness of the harms of gambling.

Chelsea Supporters Trust noted: “An online casino and betting company as main shirt sponsor is not in line with the commitment to develop Chelsea FC as a ‘world class’ organisation.

“We understand Chelsea’s desire to maximize revenue streams across the club. If we allow this to happen, it must not come at the expense of the values of the club.”

football.london understands that the club will listen to the feelings of the fans, but this is also a reality to be faced in the sponsorship packages that have been presented. However, an announcement has yet to be made.

The partnership with Hilton appears to be offering the club their stays as they travel across the United States for pre-season this summer. Friendlies will take place in Chapel Hill, Philadephia, Atlanta, Landover and Chicago.

John Rogers, Head of Global Partnerships at Chelsea, said: “Ahead of our exciting visit to the US in July and August for the pre-season tour, we are very pleased to be partnering with such a prestigious name as Hilton for the future.

We are proud to be the first football team to work alongside Hilton and look forward to rewarding their Hilton Honors members and our fans in innovative ways.”

24-year-old ‘excellent’ player is Mauricio Pochettino’s obsession to sign for Chelsea.

Mauricio Pochettino is obsessed with signing Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde for Chelsea.

The Spanish newspaper Defensa Central reports it.

Federico Valverde, now 24, is one of the superstars of La Liga giants Real Madrid.

The Uruguayan international was a juggernaut for Carlo Ancelotti’s side last season, scoring 12 goals and dishing up seven assists in all competitions.

He is an extremely versatile individual who can play as both a central midfielder and right winger, but you are likely to see him in Madrid’s lineup in both cases. Defensa Central say Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has asked his owners to sign Valverde this summer.

However, will Todd Boehly and the rest of the Blues ownership grant his wish?
It is clear Pochettino is ‘obsessed’ with working with the 24-year-old at Stamford Bridge next season.

The report adds that Chelsea have not ruled out making an initial offer worth 100m euros (£86m) for the Real Madrid attacking midfielder.

Apparently they may also be willing to pay €120m (£103m). However, Spanish heavyweight club Madrid won’t consider selling such an important player.

Valverde has been described as “outstanding” by Joe Cole (BT Sport, via Daily Mail) and would be a sensational addition to Chelsea.
It doesn’t look like he’s leaving the Bernabeu anytime soon!

He can do a bit of everything in attack and defense, so it’s no surprise that Madrid are making him one of their main players. We expect to see him on the wing more often now that Jude Bellingham joins the midfield.

We’ve seen the owners of Chelsea have done a great job so far of downsizing the squad and giving Pochettino a much more appropriately sized squad, but it would be nice for him to sign a few of his own players. NOW.

Mauricio Pochettino dismisses Premier League attack on Manchester City in first Chelsea interview

Mauricio Pochettino has spoken for the first time since being confirmed as Chelsea’s new manager ahead of the 2023-24 season

Mauricio Pochettino took aim at Manchester City in his first interview as Chelsea manager. The Argentinian signed a two-year contract – with an option for a third – with the club last month and officially began his new role on Saturday 1 July.

Chelsea hope Pochettino can lead the club back into the Champions League and constantly compete for trophies.

The Blues boss has already welcomed Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea finalize transfer matters this summer.

Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz set out for new challenges. More signings and departures are expected as Pochettino looks to freshen up the squad ahead of his crucial first season as manager.

City have set the standard in the Premier League over the past six years, winning five titles and dominating domestic competition. Pep Guardiola’s side scored a historic treble last season and eventually won the Champions League.

Chelsea finished 45 points behind City last Premier League season and Pochettino was tasked with closing the gap early on.

The Argentine is clearly delighted with his chance at Stamford Bridge and has already said everything fans have been dying to hear from his new manager.

In his first Cobham interview, Pochettino delivered a scathing dig at City with some big claims about Chelsea’s history and achievements over the past decade. The 51-year-old said:

“I think it’s important and it’s a winning culture. Chelsea have been the best team in England for 10, 12, 15 years.

“I know the Premier League very well and what the culture of Chelsea means. I think our fans are looking forward to getting back on track and trying to win.”

The Blues are clearly planning a quick return to the top of the Premier League.

Pochettino is pushing to bring in Moises Caicedo from Brighton following the arrivals of Jackson and Nkunku – and Chelsea are hoping the new signings can make a bigger impact than some of their previous signings in the past 12 months.
