Chelsea player “moves closer to exit” following Jürgen Klopp’s laudatory assessment and links to Liverpool

Chelsea might trade for a couple of players Mauricio Pochettino loved, considering the Argentine’s dismissal; one of them had previously been connected to Liverpool.

This week, Mauricio Pochettino’s exit from Chelsea—the Argentine leaving after just one season as the team’s manager—made headlines once more. Most people were taken aback by this, as the former Tottenham coach appeared to be improving things with the London team.

Chelsea had a strong finish to the season, winning its last five league games and placing sixth in the standings to earn a trip to Europe. In the latter three months of the season, Pochettino’s team only suffered one loss, raising hopes that he would do better in his second campaign.

However, there won’t be one. With Pochettino leaving Stamford Bridge, a number of players may now exit from Chelsea. Conor Gallagher and Trevor Chalobah might be two of them.

Pochettino was willing to put up a battle to keep both players with the team this summer, according to the Evening Standard. Pochettino’s departure means Chelsea will need to sell in order to balance the books, and both players might be sold to raise some much-needed cash.

Jürgen Klopp, the now-deceased former manager of Liverpool, was a fan of Gallagher’s, having praised the midfield player while he was on loan at Crystal Palace during the 2021–2022 season.

Before a game against Palace in September 2021, Klopp remarked, “Gallagher, I’m not sure if we can still say he’s a ‘talent’ when he plays for [England] U21, but he’s a really, really good player” (via This Is Anfield). Gallagher returned to Chelsea after spending the entire 2021–22 season with Palace.

With 37 league appearances and five goals last season, he established himself as one of Pochettino’s main midfield players. However, Liverpool might not be interested in signing the 24-year-old this summer given that Klopp is leaving Anfield and Arne Slot is taking his place.

Gallagher and the Reds have been connected for the past year or so. The England international was still being predicted to join Liverpool even after the summer transfer window closed and Liverpool had signed four new midfield players.

Chelsea will probably need to offload players soon since they must adhere to the Premier League’s PSR restrictions by June 30. Gallagher completed Chelsea’s youth academy, therefore the Stamford Bridge team would only benefit financially from his sale.

According to Liverpool.com, Slot may not have the same high regard for Gallagher now that the German is no longer at Anfield. Klopp has always held Gallagher in high regard. However, as he just has one year left on his contract, Liverpool could sign him for a very low price should they decide to make a bid.

A January transfer for the Chelsea star is expected 100% according to Fabrizio Romano.

Todd Boehly’s tenure as manager of Chelsea has seen a remarkable change in the composition of the team’s playing group.

The American hasn’t messed around if he thought that a situation needed to be addressed, even though it hasn’t always been advantageous for the club.

Both players and managers have come and gone, with Mauricio Pochettino being the most recent to try and right the ship that had been rapidly capsized.

Even though things have probably not gone as well as the Argentinean would have liked thus far, it is unfair to judge him based solely on a few games and a turbulent transfer window for the playing side.

Despite the enormous amount of outgoings in the summer, more are likely in January, and Fabrizio Romano has stated that one player is unquestionably leaving the club unless something drastic occurs.

He wrote in his exclusive CaughtOffside Substack, “One player who is going to leave his club in January is someone we discussed a couple of days ago, and it’s Trevoh Chalobah at Chelsea.”

Trevoh Chalobah of Chelsea is one player who will be leaving his club in January, he revealed in his CaughtOffside Substack, which is an exclusive publication.

Trevoh Chalobah is expected to look for solutions in January and leave the club, though that doesn’t mean he won’t get any opportunities as a Chelsea player in the upcoming weeks or months.

That is the situation as of September.
In football, anything can happen, but as of right now, Trevoh Chalobah is expected to start a new chapter.

To be fair to Pochettino, he has demonstrated that the team is more than capable of performing without Chalobah, even if he does decide to use him before the January transfer window opens.

The 24-year-old, a player with untapped potential at this point, won’t be concerned by a lack of interest once it is known that he is available.

When Todd Boehly’s trigger finger in the transfer window is going to calm down would perhaps be a better question to ask.

Moises Caicedo update, Ivan Toney interest, and the “next Jack Grealish”: Chelsea news and transfers LIVE.

Ahead of Aston Villa, get the most recent Chelsea news, including details on Moises Caicedo, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Benoit Badiashile

Aston Villa’s loss in Europe last night will give Chelsea some motivation as they start the countdown to matchday.

Legia Warsaw defeated Unai Emery’s team 3-2 in Poland; as a result, Unai Emery’s team now needs to recover from its defeat and tiresome performance before visiting Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

It may provide some solace for Mauricio Pochettino as he battles with a still severely depleted squad of players.

Although things have only gotten worse, the Argentine had hoped to welcome back some of his injured players after the international.

Following his return from international duty with a knee injury, Moises Caicedo has yet to be spotted in training, and Benoit Badiashile has made progress in his own recovery.

When the boss speaks to reporters later, we’ll get the most recent information from him.

We’ll also keep you informed of any developments in the transfer talks, as Ivan Toney and Mykhailo Mudryk were once again featured in newspapers yesterday across Europe.

While Arsenal is also in the running, the Blues have reportedly been made acutely aware of just how much it will take to pry Toney away from Brentford.

most recent information on injuries.

For his team’s matchup with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be without a long list of players.
The situation for the head coach hasn’t gotten much better since the Blues’ trip to Bournemouth last week, when 12 players were absent.

Unexpectedly missing from the squad, Moises Caicedo was unable to participate in the 0-0 draw after suffering an injury while representing Ecuador on the international stage.

This week, he hasn’t trained with his teammates, which has some of the fanbase in a panic.

Although Pochettino was vague about the possibilities, there is a chance he could make a comeback this weekend.

“Moi [Caicedo] needs to be evaluated tomorrow; up until today, he had been working out alone rather than with the team.
Noni Madueke was also disqualified from the match against the Cherries.
After his overseas service, he returned with a ache.

Palmer is contrasted with Madison.

Ahead of Chelsea’s matchup with Aston Villa this weekend, Joe Cole has compared Cole Palmer to James Maddison and Jack Grealish.

Palmer, who transferred from Manchester City to the west Londoners on the final day of the transfer window, has only played twice for Chelsea so far this year, both times as a result of cameos against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

Cole told TNT Sports that the player resembles James Maddison and Jack Grealish.
He has lovely balance and a lovely left foot.
I’ve mostly seen him play off the right while stepping in with his left foot.
Though he could also play as a 10.
He is merely a player who has an impact despite the fact that he can move around freely in the final third.
He is an elite athlete.

News about Caicedo.

Prior to deciding whether Moises Caicedo will be available for Chelsea’s match against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon, Mauricio Pochettino stated that a medical evaluation is required.
After suffering a minor knee injury while representing Ecuador internationally, the 21-year-old midfielder was forced to sit out last weekend’s scoreless draw with AFC Bournemouth.

Tomorrow, we need to evaluate Moises, Pochettino said.
“Up until today, he was working out in a challenging manner without the team.
To determine if he can participate for Sunday, we must evaluate him tomorrow.

Is Palmer the next Grealish?

Prior to Chelsea’s matchup with Aston Villa this weekend, Joe Cole compared Cole Palmer to James Maddison and Jack Grealish.
On Sunday afternoon, when the Blues welcome Unai Emery’s team to Stamford Bridge, the 21-year-old midfielder will be hoping to make his first start for the team.

Cole told TNT Sports that the player resembles James Maddison and Jack Grealish.
He has lovely balance and a lovely left foot.
I’ve mostly seen him play off the right while stepping in with his left foot.
However, he could perform as a 10.
He is simply a player who has an impact despite being able to move around the final third.
He is an elite player.

newest Toney.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea (and possibly Arsenal) are already aware of how much it will cost to purchase Ivan Toney this summer.

While others are reporting that Arsenal have definitely contacted the Bees over a deal and the groundwork is being done by both sides across the board, he stated on his YouTube channel that Brentford want “something around £50-60m for Ivan Toney.

Chalobah latest

Here is more from Fabrizio Romano.
Trevoh Chalobah is still anticipated to leave Chelsea in January, but Pochettino denied that the English CB was “frozen out” after the move was rejected on Deadline Day.

“Chalobah wanted to join Bayern in the final weeks of the summer transfer window, but he turned down Nottingham Forest.

Chalobah is currently injured for Chelsea, but it is becoming less likely that he will return to action for the team anytime soon.

Caicedo is concerned.

Moises Caicedo hasn’t been spotted back in Chelsea training since getting hurt while on international duty, raising concerns that he won’t be present and available for Sunday’s game against Aston Villa.

He was seen with strapping on his leg after receiving a blow to the knee while serving with Ecuador, something he had never done before.
Following this minor collision, he played in another match, and Pochettino has not provided a proper update since leaving him off the Bournemouth squad.

Even though we are almost certain to learn more about this later, we are very concerned.

Chelsea ask for £100m for the sale of two players in the final days of the transfer window

Chelsea are said to have asked for £100m this week to sell two of their players as the summer transfer window closes.

The next window of opportunity will be much shorter and won’t take place until January, so clubs are trying to do last-minute deals and Chelsea are one of those clubs.

They’ve been ready to sell a number of players all summer if their ratings are hit, and it looks like they’ve set a rating for some players interested in these final moments of the window.

Chelsea want £100million this week to let Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah go, according to Ben Jacobs, writing for Caught Offside.

Gallagher has been a regular starter under Mauricio Pochettino and it will be a big surprise when he finally leaves, but Chalobah looks much more likely, even though a £50million valuation looks high for him.

Chelsea owners sent angry message after controversial £65m deal

Chelsea news: Strasbourg fans continued their protests over BlueCo’s £65m takeover of the club in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Toulouse

Chelsea’s takeover of Ligue 1 club Strasbourg continues to anger the club’s supporters. The company that owns Les Bleus took a first step in building a multi-club network with the takeover of the French club in June.

BlueCo, made up of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, invested in a stake in Strasbourg at the start of the summer to acquire almost 100% of the club. BlueCo paid around £65million for their participation and the Ligue 1 outfit are in their first season under new ownership.

Former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira was appointed as head coach shortly after taking over, before Brazilian wonderkid Angelo Gabriel was loaned to the club for a season after signing from Chelsea earlier this summer.
It’s a decision that has fans worried.
Strasbourg Ultras expressed their dissatisfaction with Boehly & Co.’s involvement in the club by demonstrating in late June. A message appeared on the Internet saying “Boehly is not welcome”.

Well, in Sunday’s 2-0 Ligue 1 win over Toulouse, Strasbourg fans once again made their feelings clear and protested against the multi-club model. A banner in the stands read “No to timeshare”. Which translates to “No to multi-ownership”.

Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali was present at the Stade de la Meinau to see Strasbourg rise to fifth in the Ligue 1 table thanks to goals from Emanuel Emegha and Jean-Richer Bellegarde. Strasbourg chairman Mark Keller has previously said Le Racing won’t just be a development area for Chelsea prodigies in an effort to allay grievances among supporters.

“It’s not the project,” he said in an interview with L \ ‘Equipe. “We had meetings with the sports management to define the objectives. We will have more resources to be more ambitious. Loïc Désiré (Strasbourg chief scout) will discuss the players we might be interested in, if any. You also have to want to come to us.

Premier League score: Chelsea 3-0 Luton Town; post match ratings and reactions following the game

THREE POINTS WINNER AT THE BRIDGE DINNER

Chelsea didn’t get off to the best start, but came into action after a few minutes and created some excellent chances, but were unable to convert them when Raheem Sterling fired straight at the goalkeeper from ten yards after an effort on goal. mouth. and Enzo Fernández aimed his shot over the bar.

But Sterling then took matters into his own hands, putting on a brilliant individual run, losing three or four defenders and then finishing capably with his left foot into the far bottom corner. We haven’t seen many of these goals since Eden Hazard’s departure.

Unfortunately, Chelsea subsequently failed to capitalize on that breakthrough and failed to generate any shots in the final half hour of the first half. Luton rarely threatened, but with just one goal they felt anything but comfortable. Chelsea also made a reasonably good start to the second half, with Chilwell squandering a brilliant opportunity by opting to make the extra pass rather than shoot when eight yards wide. Further chances were squandered in quick succession by Sterling and Jackson as frustration levels began to mount.

Luton then gave a frightening reminder how close the score still was despite Chelsea’s dominance, creating a huge chance out of practically nothing. Sánchez manages to take the shot and clear it, with Gusto’s desperate dive that takes the sting out of the shot but also deflects it.

Chilwell and Sterling then squandered a few more chances before Sterling finally completed a beautiful pass in the 68th minute. Sterling then continued to be a supplier for a few minutes, with Jackson touching home to secure the points.

Three points, to the Bridge!

Carefree.

Chelsea decides on five players in the midst of a stunning £68 million transfer proposal.

Chelsea transfer news: The Blues have presented Juventus with a list of potential candidates along with the opportunity to accept a part-exchange deal and cash.

In order to give Mauricio Pochettino the resources he needs to be successful at Stamford Bridge next season, Chelsea appears prepared to do everything within their power to accomplish this. The Blues will be anxious to prevent a repeat of the 2022–23 season, which was their worst in the Premier League, with a return to the top of Europe’s elite the following year.

The Argentine will begin working for Cobham on July 1, giving him a full preseason to get ready for August. However, it appears that the new Chelsea head coach has already begun to plan, as a number of targets have been identified for the summer transfer window.

In Europe, The Blues are anticipated to be among the busiest clubs over the coming few months. According to recent reports, Todd Boehly is prepared to add up to six more players to the team this summer, depending on how many players leave.

Numerous football players have already been connected to moves to SW6. The three positions that London places the highest priority on are goalkeeper, midfielder, and attacker.

Chelsea reportedly moved to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic after news broke that Premier League rivals Arsenal were interested in Kai Havertz. Prior to moving to Turin, the Serbian player had been rumored to be headed to the Premier League, but after a hectic season in Italy, he may now be looking for a new challenge.

A list of five Chelsea players has reportedly been made available to the Serie A team, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (via Football Italia). This is part of a potential player swap proposal. According to the report, Juventus has set a asking price of €80 million (£68 million) for the 23-year-old player, but Chelsea would prefer a part-exchange deal plus cash.

According to reports, that list includes USMNT winger Christian Pulisic as well as Cobham graduates Trevoh Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who have both been linked with moves to Italy. Romelu Lukaku and Kalidou Koulibaly, a former center back for Napoli, are also rumored to be options.

All five players have been the focus of rumors in recent weeks as it appears that their futures at Chelsea are in jeopardy. It is uncertain whether Juventus will accept the offer or hold firm to their asking price.
