According To A Reliable Source: Todd Boehly has two major changes in mind at Chelsea

New Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is said to have identified a team need that a potential Blues signing would help to fill. Pochettino has a full to-do list for Chelsea ready to go when he arrives at Stamford Bridge. Prior to joining the club, he will also be developing his Blues priorities. Anyone who has watched CFC play this season is aware that a significant shake-up is necessary. And ‘Poch’ has already singled out the position that requires his immediate attention: the goalkeeping role. This could leave either Kepa Arrizabalaga or Edouard Mendy demoted or departing. Many stoppers are linked with Chels’ at the moment.  Todd Boehly has two major changes in mind at Chelsea The CFC chairman has work to do.  He also seems the kind of chap who would never give up on his objectives before they are achieved. We can see that in the form of his business and financier practices, as well as the success at baseball team Los Angeles Dodgers. However, things have gone drastically...

Mauricio Pochettino To Decide On Romelu Lukaku Chelsea Future

As things stand, Lukaku will only be an Inter player for a couple more months. The striker, who turns thirty this weekend, is only at the Nerazzurri on loan until the end of the season.   Inter Milan CEO Beppe Marotta confirmed some time ago that Romelu Lukaku will return to Chelsea when his loan deal ends. What has been more of a mystery is what will happen after that.  The Nerazzurri CEO has stated that it will be up to the two clubs to see if they can agree a new loan deal. Moreover, the player’s form has always looked to be a key factor. Whilst Lukaku has started to get back to his best and be decisive in recent matches, the fact that this has been an inconsistent and injury-hit campaign for him has made the Nerazzurri less interested in bringing him back for another season.   According to the Mirror, Inter have little interest in bringing Lukaku back.

Todd Boehly is planning a significant change to the hierarchy at Chelsea, in advanced talks with Chris Jurasek to come in as new chief executive at Stamford Bridge.

Jurasek presently serves as both the CEO of EagleView Technologies, a company that Clearlake Capital has invested in and the operations executive of Clearlake Capital, the private equity group that co-owns the Blues. According to The Times, negotiations to move him to west London are nearly complete, and Jurasek's appointment is a part of a "broader management restructure" that will affect Tom Glick, the current president of business. Even though Glick only started working for Chelsea in July as the former chief commercial officer of City Football Group, if he shows up as anticipated, it appears that Jurasek will be his immediate supervisor. It has been something of a chaotic time for Chelsea since Boehly and Clearlake bought the club last year and the period of upheaval is obviously not at an end. Frank Lampard remains in charge of the first team as temporary manager but the club legend will not be in that role next season, with a new boss still to be announced. Former T...

Napoli have reportedly increased the asking price for their key player and Nigerian star Victor Osimhen days after they won the domestic title for the first time in 33 years.

Days after claiming their first Italian Serie A championship in 33 years, Napoli reportedly raised the asking price for their top player and Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen. According to a rumor from the Italian outlet Il Matino, the Azzurri have raised the Nigerian's asking price from €150 to €160 million. This is thought to have been done to stave off summertime interest in the 24-year-old striker. Top European teams like Bayern Munich, PSG, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have all at various points been connected with efforts to capture Osimhen in the summer transfer window, which is no longer breaking news. This is coming after Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis had stated that the club would do everything possible to keep Osimhen this summer. However, there are speculations that the Serie A winners will agree to a lucrative offer for the striker. Osimhen is currently the top goalscorer in the Italian league with 23 goals in 27 matches this season and has been ti...

Pochettino identifies midfielder that will play key role in his squad

Mason Mount has been named a crucial member of his squad by Argentine international and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is widely expected to be Chelsea's next manager. This occurs as questions remain about Mount's future with the club. The English midfielder is thought to be a target for Pochettino because he sees him as a potential crucial member of his team. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Mount's work ethic and technical proficiency are greatly admired by the former Tottenham boss. Mount will be out of contract at Chelsea in June 2024 and there has been little progress in regards to the negotiations on a contract extension. Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future at Stamford Bridge, Mount has been linked with a summer exit, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal all showing interest and willingness to sign him. Like Chelsea, Mount has struggled to impress this season, scoring only three goals and creating six assists in all competitio...

Three Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Emiliano Martinez, who is expected to depart Aston Villa this summer.

According to Argentine outlet TyC Sports, Chelsea and Manchester United are chasing the 30-year-old’s signature. However it’s Tottenham who hold the most significant interest in the World Cup winner’s services.   Martinez has truly announced himself as one of the top goalkeepers in world football due to his performances for club and country. As well as shining for Villa, the ex-Arsenal shot-stopper was a standout performer as Argentina won football’s Holy Grail in Qatar in December, with Martinez proving to be the hero in a dramatic penalty shootout.  While Aston Villa are currently right in the mix for a spot in Europe next season, the prospect of joining one of the Premier League’s top clubs could be too good to turn down. Both United and Chelsea are looking at alternative options as they look to bolster their goalkeeping ranks ahead of the new season. Meanwhile Spurs will be looking for a replacement for Hugo Lloris, with the club favourites to sign the ex-Reading...
