Chelsea close to signing Mauricio Pochettino in a dream that isn’t Moises Caicedo
Chelsea don’t stop, Chelsea don’t stop, Todd Boehly can’t escape.
How do you follow a season of more than £500 million ($640 million) and a 12th-place finish? Bigger, better and harder. The Blues seem to think that’s the best way for them. To stay ahead of the competition is to drain players from the group and ensure their climb back to the top table in European football.
They tried everything else. This should be worth a shot. Recent history says it is a risk and perhaps not something that will pay off financially. But then Liverpool happened. And the sprouts of what was being mixed together began to show. The Boehly-Clearlake Rulebook It is reading that it has no choice but to continue attacking the market.
This puts them in pursuit of Michael Olise and if it seems Liverpool’s win against both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia isn’t enough. There is now massive action to beat Manchester City. Pep Guardiola lifted Mateo Kovacic, who should have been a draw, and Josko Gvardiol, but Olise is the newest name on the list.
With interest from both teams Chelsea seem to be at the top here. Reports in France suggest personal terms have been agreed with the 21-year-old, and he also prefers a move to London over Manchester. Meanwhile, the Evening Standard said the club were hoping to easily sign a deal worth around £45 million ($57 million).
Football.London says: After using an attacking and left-footed right-footed winger under the Under-22s, Olise immediately felt a little bit ‘because we’ can’t’ ‘because we want to’.

Chelsea already have Angelo Gabriel, Diego Moreira, Noi Maduque and Omari Hutchinson in that niche and must see Tudor Mendel. Idowu The high scoring trickster leaves the team for free. in the summer This is partly due to the influx of field space. The pathway for the Academy players was no longer clear.
Ian Maatsen played there in pre-season. But he’s a left-back. Maybe it’s the next Ben Chiwell out there. Back to Olise, it was actually a reasonably isolated move. He suits his age perfectly. Be a stubborn worker when not playing ball. and likes to go in wide
Think Christian Eriksen on the right in Tottenham’s 4-2-3-1 formation. It’s Olise with Hakim Ziyech out. Olise is coming up as a better, younger and more powerful replacement. He was not subject to extortion compared to some deals at Stamford. Bridge this summer and speak frankly Although the right wing is overloaded Only he and Madueke are available as first-team options.
It fits Pochettino perfectly. and for this price It’s hard to deny
If Olise is reasonable, he’s not the first in the position. Kepa Arrizabalaga, after receiving competition from compatriot Robert Sanchez, the Spaniard joined Real Madrid on a season-long loan. Although reports are mixed over whether there is an option or even a purchase obligation, the 28-year-old will not be at Stamford. Bridge for the 2023/24 season
It follows his personal season best performance. But it came at a time when a new manager and goalkeeping coach, Tony Jimenez, had a trusted place at Cobham. Kepa still has two years left on the same contract he signed with Athletic. Bilbao for £72 million ($91 million) in 2018.
His exit now makes Reece James the club’s longest-serving player after making his first-team debut in 2019. Kepa arrived in Los Blancos to replace Thibaut. Former Blues goalkeeper Courtois suffered a damaging ACL injury on the eve of the La Liga season.
Football.London says: Chelsea have done a great job of making the most of opportunistic sales this summer. It wasn’t part of the club’s plans to see either Kai Havertz or Mason Mount leave the squad, but with so many offers coming in they were too good to turn down. Between that pair and Mateo Kovacic, they have almost enough capital to build a whole new midfield. Prices can be inflated and inflated. But that’s the cost of working publicly and quickly.
When it comes to Kepa There is very little evidence that he is. ‘A goalkeeper who can lead a team into the top four. Let alone that.’ The argument is that Sanchez has no proof that he can truly do that. But he costs 3 times less and is now 3 years younger.
If Sanchez’s move goes wrong and he’s not good enough to be No.1 in the long run, that’s very likely. Chelsea will earn very little per year on his contract with the Spanish national team. The price they paid for him was pathetic and hardly worth the money they spent. Especially if he’s the first choice this season.
It was difficult for them to approve of Kepa’s departure for several seasons. Therefore, when there is such an opportunity And with Bayern Munich’s interest, it was too good to say no. He is not the answer to their problems and loaning him out to other players is out of the equation now.
