Chelsea takes initial effort to snatch the $77 million Liverpool transfer target.

Liverpool may have been dealt a blow in the pursuit of one rumoured transfer target this summer, as Todd Boehly’s Chelsea looked to make the initial approach for one emerging star.

Liverpool may be disappointed in any potential transfer drive for Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, as Chelsea has made the initial approach for the attacker.

The London-born winger, who has represented France at under international level, had his greatest season yet as the Eagles finished strong in 2023-24. Despite limited minutes due to hamstring issues throughout the season, the 22-year-old impressed with his performances.

In total, he scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 19 appearances as Palace finished 15th, securing their Premier League status for another year. According to the Mirror, Olise’s purple patch has already piqued the interest of a number of possible suitors, including Liverpool, who are keeping an eye on his availability this summer.

His current employers are reportedly unwilling to accept offers below $77 million for the former Queens Park Rangers prodigy, who has also piqued the interest of Manchester City and Arsenal. As previously said, Chelsea is believed to have made the first big move for the forward.

According to the article, his “dataset and his consistent high level of performance” have prompted the Blues to increase their efforts to sign Olise. However, one significant advantage for Liverpool in the chase may be that they can offer the attacker Champions League football, whereas their rivals from West London have just qualified for the Conference League.

With 82 appearances under his belt in England’s top tier, Olise’s experience in the division may be very appealing to transfer chiefs at the country’s top clubs throughout the offseason. At Anfield, the forward might be considered a long-term alternative for Mohamed Salah.

With the Egyptian about to enter the final year of his current contract with the Reds, it’s unclear whether the coming season will be his last on Merseyside. Olise pleased Kop hero Jamie Carragher with his performances last season, and the great defender spoke highly of the kid on Sky Sports.

He stated, “Crystal Palace has two players in Eze and Olise who could easily fit into Manchester United’s team. “They have been brilliant under Oliver Glasner,” the Liverpool star told Sky Sports. There has been chatter that Olise is United’s top summer target, and it’s easy to see why. I hope they stay.

“These are two players who can undoubtedly play Champions League or European football, and they’ll want to do so, even if it’s difficult for them to do so at Crystal Palace. So the players’ ambitions will be as significant as the club’s, and you couldn’t really complain if one of them decided to go and if they get a large offer to play in the Champions League.”

Before the end of last season, Palace head coach Oliver Glasner addressed the situation regarding the futures of both Olise and Eberechi Eze, stating: “It is the club’s responsibility to keep all of its players. I know they’ll try everything. You never know how your roster will look when the next season begins. They’re excellent players, and this is an incredible group.”

Injury update on Chelsea attacker Carney Chukwuemeka, including possible return date.

Chelsea were beaten 3-1 by West Ham on Sunday
Carney Chukwuemeka scored and forced the ball at the London Stadium
The attacker is to be tried on Monday

The only thing that can match Chelsea’s spending on new talent is the number of players currently on the injured list.

Sure, the Blues have spent an indecent amount of money since Todd Boehly took over, but there’s no doubt they’ve also struggled with injuries. However, given their club’s fetish for flawed team formation, it’s hard to feel sorry for Chelsea fans.

Yet it looks like Mauricio Pochettino delivered another blow – beyond the scoreline – on Sunday as West Ham forced the west London club to a 3-1 defeat. Carney Chukwuemeka, the Chelsea striker at the London Stadium, succumbed to a knee injury before half-time and was taken off as a result. The attacking midfielder will be sidelined for a spell as the Blues are already missing a number of first-team stars in Christopher Nkunku, Reece James and Wesley Fofana.

When will Carney Chukwuemeka be back from injury?

The Englishman’s return from his knee injury won’t be known until the severity of his problem is revealed. Mauricio Pochettino said after his side’s defeat at West Ham that Chukwuemeka will be evaluated on Monday.

“We have to judge him tomorrow,” said the Chelsea manager. “Tomorrow there is a check with the doctor. Let’s hope it’s not a big problem, but we have to wait”.

Chukwuemeka appears to have initially injured his left knee after a challenge from former Chelsea player Emerson Palmieri earlier in the match. He went down just before half-time with an injury that wasn’t caused by any contact. He underwent lengthy treatment before being helped off the London Stadium ground by the Chelsea medical team.

Mykhailo Mudryk replaced the Englishman, but made no impact in the second half, and Chukwuemeka left the pitch on crutches after the game. While the teen may not have suffered an ACL injury like so many at the start of the new season, some have speculated that he may have sustained an MCL or meniscus injury, which would require a lengthy recovery period. A more positive diagnosis would be a bone bruise resulting from Emerson’s initial challenge.

Opinion: After being ignored for years, Chelsea have a midfield to be reckoned with

Once Chelsea confirm the signing of Romeo Lavia, they will have assembled one of the best midfielders in world football in two transfer windows.

This area of the pitch has been neglected by the club for years. Chelsea haven’t had a proper defensive midfielder since Nemanja Matic and he left our club in 2017.

Since then we’ve had some decent midfielders (some very good), but overall our midfield was nowhere near good enough, unbalanced and lacking the right profiles to compete in the Premier League.

If you want to win consistently and be a consistent force in world football, you have to make sure you have the perfect team engine, which is the midfield. And this starts from the base, with a defensive midfielder.

Chelsea now with Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia on standby, they have absolutely everything in midfield now and it’s a fantastic moment and a fantastic feeling for us Blues fans.

Enzo single-handedly led our midfield and team last season when we had a horrible year in football, but now he finally has the help he needs and deserves.

Caicedo and Lavia will provide the defensive stability and awareness we’ve needed for so long, as well as the athleticism and physicality. Both players know how to defend, close the distance, intercept and tackle: all things that we have lacked a lot. Then Enzo will be free for them to do what he does best and that is to create and shoot.

Enzo actually has a really good shot with him and knows how to find the net, but last season he was so blocked we never saw him. He also has great vision and an eye for passing, and he’s now being given the freedom to do all of that.

It’s literally a dream come true for Chelsea fans and it still feels like that, a big dream! But it’s not a dream, Chelsea now have a VERY good and capable midfield with the perfect complementary profiles for each other. What a future they have, and they’re all young, so it’s a future we should see thrive and improve and have for many years to come!

Chelsea will soon complete their third acquisition in two days, according to Fabrizio Romano.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will soon make Michael Olise their next significant acquisition.

He claimed that the Blues had activated the release clause regarding signing him this summer on YouTube.

With their recent flurry of signings, Chelsea has really gotten going in the transfer market, and they are now looking to add Olise’s name to their impressive roster.

After a protracted summer of negotiations, they were able to officially announce earlier this week that Moises Caicedo from Brighton had been signed.

Romeo Lavia’s transfer to Stamford Bridge is reportedly set to be completed by a medical today, which would round out that midfield addition.

Now, though, it appears that they want to improve their attacking options, paying special attention to creativity.

Ollie is headed to Chelsea.

According to Romano, Chelsea is now eager to finalize a deal to sign Olise away from Crystal Palace.

“I have heard for days that the clause has been removed,” he said. No. Both Chelsea and City took notice of it. Now that the player and his camp have indicated their willingness to join Chelsea, Chelsea has made the decision to move forward.

In a few days, Olise will become Chelsea’s third signing after the deal with the player’s agents is finalized and the deal’s structure is prepared. We’re about to start working on this.

Due to their continued high spending in yet another transfer window, it is likely that Chelsea will be almost done for the summer after this deal.

In the waning weeks of the season, a wave of outgoings is more likely to hit the market.

Moisés Caicedo has been signed by Chelsea in a British record-breaking £115 million deal.

Moisés Caicedo has been acquired by Chelsea in a deal worth a British record $115 million from Brighton.

After spending £106.8 million on another midfielder, Enzo Fernández, during the winter transfer window, Chelsea has broken the British transfer record twice in the past seven months. With a club option for an additional year, Caicedo’s contract is for eight years.

Liverpool had a £111 million offer accepted for Caicedo last Thursday, but they were unable to persuade him to move to Anfield. The Ecuadorian international has always preferred to sign with Chelsea, who will pay £100m plus £15m in performance-related bonuses.

Additionally, Brighton has a buy-out clause for a player they acquired on February 1, 2021, for an undisclosed sum that is believed to be £4.5 million from the Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle.

Chelsea made Caicedo their top target for the defensive midfield position, but Brighton turned down several of their offers. It took weeks for a deal to be reached after a £70 million offer was turned down in the middle of July.

The action carries on Brighton’s tradition of making sizable profits in the transfer market. For instance, this summer they sold Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool for £35 million after purchasing him for about £7 million, and last summer Chelsea paid £55 million for the £15 million signing of Marc Cucurella.

In an effort to sign Southampton midfielder Roméo Lavia before Liverpool, Chelsea is also attempting to do so. Although Chelsea, who are willing to pay £50 million plus add-ons, have agreed to a £60 million deal, the Belgian international would prefer to sign with them.

When Chelsea called, Caicedo didn’t need to second-guess his decision to sign with the club, saying: “I am so excited to be here at this big club. Being here is a fulfillment of a dream, and I am eager to begin working with the group.

Following Chelsea’s £115 million transfer of Moises Caicedo over Liverpool, the Premier League is considering changing the rules.

Chelsea are using the tactic of offering longer contracts to reduce annual depreciation costs

The Premier League could be set to align its profit and sustainability accounting rules with those of UEFA following Chelsea’s £115m move for Liverpool transfer target Moises Caicedo.

The 21-year-old midfielder completed his move to Stamford Bridge on Monday after turning down a chance to join Liverpool. The Reds accepted a £111m offer from Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday. On Sunday, however, Chelsea returned with an improved offer of £115 after Caicedo expressed his desire to join them via Liverpool.

The acquisition of the Ecuador international and the likely signing of another Reds transfer target in Southampton’s Romeo Lavia for £50m plus add-ons will take Chelsea’s spending to over £900m since Todd Boehly and the Clearlake club Capital have recaptured.

May 2022. Chelsea’s spending, which has seen them break the UK transfer record twice this year, is not without risk, despite the high number of players they have sold this summer, as they are likely to be carefully monitored for potential infractions. of the Premier League profit and sustainability rules.

Chelsea had adopted the tactic of offering new signings seven-, eight- and nine-year contracts, the longest terms allowing them to amortize the cost of the transfer fee over a longer period of time. Guaranteed transfer fees, regardless of how they are paid, are amortized for accounting purposes over the life of a deal, the longer the deal lasts, the lower the annual cost on the balance sheet.

That practice was eradicated earlier this summer by UEFA, European football’s governing body, with clubs participating in European competitions now only allowed to write off transfer fees for up to five years, although the offer of contracts longer than this period will continue to be permitted.

But after finishing 12th last season following a poor season which saw them sack both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter and end the season with Frank Lampard in charge, Chelsea are out of European competition this season which means the rules viability criteria do not apply. at least for them for now.

Premier League profit and sustainability rules apply to all member clubs and still allow amortization over periods longer than five years, although European clubs must be bound by the new five-year limit to be able to compete.

Chelsea have offered Caicedo an eight-year deal with an option for a ninth, meaning they could write off the £100m guarantee to £12.5m-a-year, while Liverpool would have him got to £20m a year.

This has given Chelsea a financial advantage, at least for now, due to their poor performance last season, although they will be forced to adjust their accounting practices to match those of UEFA if they qualify. for European competition next season, with retrospective measures for Caicedo a possibility.

According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League will align its transfer fee amortization accounting rules with those of UEFA by next summer in response to pressure from some clubs unhappy with Chelsea’s approach to the transfer market. transfers.

By introducing longer contracts and allowing transfer costs to be amortized over time, Chelsea have given themselves some leeway in the market for the time being, although they are likely to face restrictions significant spending in the coming seasons, compared to the gigantic spending of the last 12 months.

The gamble Boehly and Clearlake are making is based on the belief that the young talent now gathering will take Chelsea to the top and lead them back to Champions League riches, enabling the club to maximize revenue opportunities.

The proposals, says the Mail, will be discussed at a Premier League shareholders’ meeting later this season, where they are likely to receive backing from many member clubs.

John W. Henry, owner of Liverpool, flies in to meet with Chelsea despite anger over the Moises Caicedo move.

Led by principal owner John W Henry, members of Fenway Sports Group flew to London to attend the club’s opening match at Stamford Bridge

There could be a chilling atmosphere in the Chelsea boardroom on Sunday afternoon due to Moises Caicedo’s transfer battle with owners Liverpool in the city.

Members of the Fenway Sports Group flew to London under the direction of principal owner John W. Henry to watch the club’s opening match at Stamford Bridge.

They left the United States in the belief that a record UK bid of £110m would secure the services of Brighton midfield defender Caicedo.

But they would now lose the Ecuador international side with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly eyeing Liverpool with a £115m offer believing the player would rather move to King’s Road.

And for the record, Boehly is also poised to outwit Liverpool for another transfer target, Southampton’s Romeo Lavia. It left John W. Henry and the rest of the Anfield board frustrated and dissatisfied with the way Caicedo’s transfer business with Brighton was handled.

They felt they had a good working relationship with the south coast club after signing Argentina’s World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister and seeing James Milner move in the opposite direction.

Brighton had set a deadline for any offer with Liverpool arriving just before the close, and one that was accepted by the Seagulls.

But knowing Caicedo would prefer to join them, Chelsea have since signaled their willingness to offer £115m for the player in addition to a £55m offer for Saints star Lavia.

It means the atmosphere in the Stamford Bridge boardroom and boardroom could be tense when the American owners of both clubs come face to face. The Liverpool home shirt for the 2023/2024 season pays tribute to Bill Shankly and the legendary Reds manager’s final season at Anfield. The Nike jersey features a bright red design with a bold white contrast on the color and cuffs.

Henry’s last appearance at a Liverpool game was in April when the Reds beat West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Joel Matip.

Whatever happens to pursuers Caicedo and Lavia, there will certainly be talks between Jurgen Klopp and FSG, with the German aware of the lack of players in the Reds’ midfield at the start of the season following the departures of Milner and Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Naby. Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have arrived, but the defensive midfield position remains a priority no matter what happens to young Caicedo and Lavia.

Chelsea news: Todd Boehly has given Michael Olise an incentive while Kylian Mbappe has sent a transfer request.

Get the latest information on Todd Boehly, Kylian Mbappe, and Moises Caicedo among the biggest Chelsea headlines.

Olise incentive

In order to pursue their interest in Crystal Palace starlet Michael Olise, Chelsea have been given the ideal motivation. Following news that Brighton and Hove Albion and Ajax have reached an agreement in principle for Kudus, the Blues may be forced to continue pursuing their interest in the Crystal Palace star.

The Seagulls have developed a reputation for doing exquisite transfer business in recent years, but as their first season in Europe approaches, Roberto De Zerbi’s team has been forced to make significant summer spending. Joao Pedro’s transfer from Watford broke their club record transfer fee, and they are now on pace to break the £30 million barrier with a fee of £34 point 5 million for Kudus.

The transaction is still far from being completed.
The 23-year-old’s potential departure from Chelsea gives Boehly more motivation than ever to sign Olise.

Maatsen boost

Although Pochettino is still trying to sign Caicedo, his most recent move may help the Blues avoid spending millions of dollars on Caicedo. The Chelsea manager has informed Ian Maatsen, according to the Evening Standard, that he wants to keep him at Stamford Bridge for the remainder of the season.

Before returning to Chelsea and making an impression in preseason, the Cobham graduate spent the previous season on loan at Championship champion Burnley. Maatsen is a player the club can consider as they try to bolster their engine room ranks because he can play in central midfield and was used further forward during the tour of the United States despite primarily playing at left-back.

The need for a new winger and central midfielder is reduced by keeping Maatsen at the club because he can fill those roles, which could theoretically help Chelsea save a sizable sum of money if they match Brighton’s asking price for Caicedo. The 21-year-old has Pochettino so impressed that new contract negotiations are also expected, allowing Chelsea to direct their funding toward other areas that Maatsen won’t cover.

Mbappe update

According to a report, Chelsea “rules out” signing Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.

Christopher Nkunku’s (expected) injury layoff, the extent of which is still unknown at this time, has allowed for some wild transfer speculation over the past 24 hours, including such gems as Chelsea bringing back Joo Félix for another loan (because the first one was such a rousing success obviously) or Chelsea spending untold millions on more attacking players, such as Michael Olise, Mohammed Kudus, or, and this is the really fun one, Neymar (not-so-).

According to reports in France, PSG is still interested in getting rid of Neymar, especially since Kylian Mbappé is anticipated to follow Lionel Messi out of the door. Smarties are better, so no more M-N-Ms for the good people of Paris.

Though Neymar appears to favor a return to Barcelona, the Premier League is where the money is (aside from the Saudi Pro League, of course), and the player prefers to remain in Europe.

According to those reports, talks have allegedly been taking place between Chelsea and Neymar. However, the Evening Standard claims that this is complete nonsense because Chelsea has already “ruled out” the possibility. Neymar doesn’t fit the market m.o we currently have. neither our pay structure. Sadly, the report also mentions Kylian Mbappé. Despite spending a significant amount of time working successfully and productively with Neymar at PSG, Mauricio Pochettino is rumored to have concurred that this idea is a “non-starter.”.

Chelsea contacts the relegated Leeds star and is prepared to trigger the player’s release clause.

According to reports, Chelsea has contacted Tyler Adams, a midfielder for Leeds United, and is prepared to trigger his relegation release clause.

Prior to the start of the upcoming Premier League season, manager Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to bolster his midfield lineup. However, he has been unsuccessful in finding suitable replacements thus far.

Paris Saint-Germain beat the Blues to the signing of Manuel Ugarte at the beginning of the summer, and Brighton is still putting up a fight for Moises Caicedo, who is a top target for them.

Adams was recently mentioned as a possible replacement for the Ecuadorian in Chelsea’s transfer plans, but it now seems the club wants both players.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Adams’ representatives have been contacted by the west London club’s hierarchy, who is also looking into the deal’s price.

The transfer for Adams is being treated separately from Caicedo negotiations, and the American captain is not just seen as a backup option but rather as someone who can add depth and competition to the midfield.

Adams, who was released by RB Leipzig last summer, is now available for just £20 million following Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League.

The Daily Mail even claims that Chelsea’s interest has grown to the point where they are prepared to trigger his release clause.

Pochettino prefers to have at least one new midfielder in before next Sunday’s game, but any deal for Caicedo is unlikely to be finished in time with just one week until the Blues face Liverpool in their opening game of the season.

Because Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were all sold, N’Golo Kante left on a free transfer, leaving Chelsea with few options in the midfield.

Last weekend, when asked if the team was still looking for a midfielder, Pochettino responded, “I think we’re still talking about needing an experienced midfielder, yes.”.

With 14 appearances in the Champions League and 75 appearances in the Bundesliga prior to his season in the Premier League with Leeds, Adams, 24, undoubtedly brings a wealth of experience to the table. He has 36 caps for the USA as well.

Adams’ release clause would need to be paid in full, which would be different from Chelsea’s usual purchasing strategy since they typically spread out the cost of transfers over several years.

August 8, 2023
Kylian Mbappe makes his final Chelsea transfer decision, as Todd Boehly deals with a significant contract headache.

With his contract set to expire in a year, Kylian Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Chelsea’s chances of landing Kylian Mbappe this summer have received a significant boost, but there is one problem. Given that his contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in a year, the 24-year-old forward’s future in the French capital is currently becoming more and more uncertain.

According to the Spanish publication Sport, Mbappe is willing to give Stamford Bridge a try as long as he signs a one-year contract that gives him the freedom to consider his options at the end of the following season. According to the report, the Blues would prefer to sign the France international to a long-term contract, so this does not suit them.

Chelsea still needs to agree on a fee with the Parisians even though they seem to be moving forward with the personal terms front. The Blues are reportedly attempting to negotiate a player-plus-cash deal to bring the Frenchman to west London.

According to the report, Todd Boehly had direct discussions with the club president about a potential transfer and PSG encouraged Chelsea to pursue a move for the forward. Nasser Al-Khelaifi stated earlier this month that Mbappe has two weeks to sign a new contract with the Parisians in order to avoid being sold.

He still hasn’t promised PSG his long-term future, and he hasn’t joined a new team, after four weeks. Mauricio Pochettino was asked if he would like to reunite with Mbappe and Neymar at Chelsea during the Blues’ preseason tour of the United States.

“I think we were at Paris Saint-Germain and with Kylian in the past, and I think I need to be conscious that I cannot talk,” the Argentine said. “There is too much noise in everything you say. They must work with Kylian in Paris to resolve this delicate situation.

“I have nothing to say on our side. Our reality is different, and we are working to change it. I have nothing to add from my perspective other than my support. My fingers are crossed that they manage to satisfy both parties.

“I love this club because I’ve been a player, a captain, and a coach there. We have a great relationship with Kylian, and I hope they can come up with a solution that benefits both parties. “.

Possibly the best player in the world, Kylian Mbappe, has entered into shocking negotiations with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.

According to Duncan Castles of the Daily Record, Chelsea and PSG have begun contract negotiations so that Mbappe can join them.

Boehly and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of PSG, have had direct discussions regarding the agreement.

According to Castles, Chelsea is reportedly offering PSG a cash plus player deal; however, it is unclear which players would be exchanged.

Given that Mbappe only last week refused to talk about terms with Al Hilal, it is unclear whether the French player has any interest in joining Chelsea.

Although PSG accepted a €300 million bid from the Saudi Arabian side, it is widely believed that Mbappe is holding out to sign with Real Madrid. Mbappe actually prefers to move to Madrid for nothing when his contract expires at the end of the upcoming season.

Mbappe wants to leave PSG.
In an effort to prevent losing Mbappe to a free transfer the following season, PSG has placed Mbappe on transfer list and is determined to sell the French superstar this summer.

Mbappe has been banished from PSG after they refused to let him join them on their summer tour of Japan and forced him to train alongside players who are on the transfer market.

The 24-year-old attacker has been informed by PSG that if he doesn’t sign a contract extension, he will be sold this summer and might not play again for the team.

Mbappe is up for grabs this summer from a number of major clubs, not just Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Arsenal is reportedly keeping a close eye on Mbappe and may use Gabriel Martinelli as a makeweight to sign the Frenchman in 2024, according to a recent report from FootballTransfers.

Even though moves to Manchester United, Tottenham, or even Liverpool themselves have been mentioned, it seems unlikely that they will happen.

In the upcoming weeks, a formal offer for Mbappe from Real Madrid is anticipated, according to The Daily Record.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have finalized a deal to acquire 25-year-old Monaco center-back

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have finalized a deal to acquire 25-year-old Monaco center-back Axel Disasi, who will become the Blues’ sixth permanent addition of the summer.

Although Disasi has recently been associated with several Premier League teams—Manchester United and Newcastle are just two of the clubs that have been linked with him this summer—the Blues didn’t seem to be in the mix until Sunday, when it unexpectedly became clear that a deal was close.

Romano claims that Chelsea is willing to pay Monaco €45 million for a player who has become more well-known over the past season.

“Chelsea have sealed a deal for Axel Disasi,” the football transfer expert declared.
The two clubs are planning to exchange paperwork and documents.
”.
A medical formality that Disasi still needs to finish is scheduled to be finished early this week. With the possibility of an additional year, he will agree to a five-year contract with the team.

Romano continued by saying that despite interest from both Newcastle and Manchester United, neither of the two Champions League teams decided to make a bid for the player.

Benoit Badiashile, a central defensive colleague of Disasi, was acquired by Chelsea for €38 million in January, making him the second defender from Monaco that Chelsea has acquired in the past two transfer windows.

Season to remember for Axel Disasi.
Disasi participated in each and every one of Monaco’s 49 competitive games in Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and European football last season as they finished sixth in France. In these games, he scored six goals and assisted on four others.

He also earned four France caps during this time and played a minute in the World Cup final. He also turned pro during this time.

Didier Deschamps has used him as a right-back while playing with Les Bleus despite the fact that he is typically a center-back.

The Expected Transfer Value (xTV) for Disasi is €20 million, which indicates that Chelsea is overpaying to sign him.

Different viewpoints: At Chelsea, Pochettino and Boehly disagree on a particular issue.

Different viewpoints: At Chelsea, Pochettino and Boehly disagree on a particular issue.

When it comes to Conor Gallagher, Mauricio Pochettino and Todd Boehly at Chelsea are at odds.

That is what Ben Jacobs claims.

Let’s take a look at the most recent information regarding Conor Gallagher at Chelsea.

What’s going on?

Boehly appears to be willing to sell the Chelsea No.23 Although Pochettino is less eager to part with the England international, this summer.

Given that Gallagher is a Chelsea player and wants to compete for a spot, Jacobs, a reputable sportswriter for CBS Sports, said to Give Me Sport that Pochettino and the Chelsea board still need to trim down the squad size.

Even though Pochettino likes Gallagher a lot and he isn’t necessarily the first player that Chelsea needs to resolve, I believe the Chelsea board would view Gallagher from a slightly different angle and be willing to sell him if the price was right.

“There is Pochettino’s perspective, and he is very impressed with Gallagher. He claimed as much during the American tour, but I believe the Chelsea board would be open to selling him if the right price were to be offered. ”.

Chelsea values the 23-year-old at £50 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Todd Boehly should leave Conor Gallagher decision to Mauricio Pochettino

Boehly would be smart to defer to Pochettino for football-related decisions like this, in our opinion.

Since taking over at Chelsea, the American has already garnered attention for his insistence on being overly involved, including his now-famous visits to the dressing room at Stamford Bridge.

The 49-year-old would be foolish to defy Pochettino and try to sell a player the Argentinean likes.
Of course, Boehly must maintain control of his finances and may need the money from Gallagher’s sale.

Given that Gallagher’s future is uncertain, it is important to keep an eye on this situation.

We can’t wait to see two Chelsea players who are displaying excellent chemistry tonight.

Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson’s chemistry has been really exciting to watch develop through the first three preseason games, and as we approach our penultimate friendly tonight, we’re eager to see more of it.

With Premier League action beginning in less than two weeks, Fulham will present a strong opponent and are in the same stage of their preparation as we are.

Even though this isn’t one of those games that will be played at full strength, it should still be quite tense, particularly in the early going when adjustments from both coaches could potentially disrupt the flow. The starting lineup that Mauricio Pochettino selects should resemble his starting XI for the match against Liverpool in two weeks, and Jackson and Nkunku’s attacking interplay will be crucial to our success throughout the season.

Preseason time spent together is extremely valuable. We eagerly anticipate seeing what they come up with tonight.

Chelsea have already reached a crucial agreement on the next signing of Mauricio Pochettino, who wants a move

Chelsea are halfway to finalizing a deal for Mauricio Pochettino’s next signing this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino is yet to make his first major signing since taking charge of Chelsea, but there is a growing sense that the wait for a major signing is drawing to a close.

The Blues have been chasing players out the door for the first month of the transfer window as Todd Boehly raises money to ease their worries about financial fair play, and now Pochettino is looking forward to hitting some of his favorite goals.

The West London team was ruthless in taking down some key members of their team. Similarly, on the other side of the market, they have taken an important step to overcome a major obstacle in their hunt for Moises Caicedo.

The 22-year-old has “already set his sights” on a move to Stamford Bridge and it has been reported that Chelsea will launch their first official £70m offer for the Ecuadorian midfielder, reports The Evening Standard. Brighton’s £100m asking price could be based on Declan Rice’s £105m transfer to Arsenal, but the Blues will be confident they can get a cheaper deal.

The same report claims Pochettino’s transfer bosses have negotiated a personal deal with Caicedo which would see him sign a long-term deal with a huge pay rise over his current salary of £90,000 a week.

He will likely follow the lead of Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson by signing an eight-year deal, although UEFA looks to end the FFP lead it gained by handing out longer contracts.

However, for Caicedo it would be a good representation of how long Chelsea would see him stay at the club as he is seen as the natural heir to N’Golo Kante.

And having agreed personal terms at this point before their offer stands gives Chelsea considerable bargaining power. The South Coast is known for its unrestricted approach to transfer talks and has demanded high fees from Ben White and Marc Cucurella

But the club’s apparent guarantee to Caicedo that they would sell him, coupled with Roberto De Zerbi’s public admission that he might be sold, weakened their position. Chelsea could still pay around £80million for Caicedo, but that amount will largely be funded by the various departures this summer.

Kai Havertz, Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic all left for hefty transfer fees, while support players such as Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek joined AC Milan for a total of £36million , with add-ons taking the club to nearly £40million.

Add in the proceeds from the sale of Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy to Saudi clubs, as well as the huge salary budget savings from the sacking of Kante and Cesar Azpilicueta Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, this could prove to be a winning window for Boehly.

In total, he gives Chelsea around £230m to play with – and just around £45m was spent on Villarreal and Santos’ Nicolas Jackson and Angelo Gabriel, as Christopher Nkunku’s £60m was included in expenses. transfer last season.

Those deals have been important in putting the “new Chelsea” together, but bringing in Caicedo would bring the team closer to what Pochettino wants as the Argentine prepares to lead the Londoners into an exciting new era.
