In today’s Chelsea transfer news, Todd Boehly’s newest £100 million+ hunt to please Mauricio Pochettino, an update on Mykhailo Mudryk, and much more.
Chelsea has been interested in signing Rafael Leao for a long time, and this summer is no exception. However, issues arise when you consider that he performs a similar function to Mykhailo Mudryk, who was only signed in January to no significant advantage.
According to Express, the probable purchase of Leao has no effect on Mudryk because Chelsea sees him as a central attacker rather than a winger. This would explain the attention, as the general belief is that they need to strengthen in this position.
It is believed that Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to lead Chelsea; the only question now is when the club will announce his appointment. With this in mind, the Argentine manager will have a lot to work out when he comes at the club, but it’s nothing he hasn’t experienced before at Southampton and Tottenham.
Two Players Pochettino Could Sign When He Becomes Chelsea Manager
According to Corriere dello Sport, Todd Boehly wants to help Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival by enabling the pursuit of Napoli’s £130 million-rated Victor Osimhen. As a result, it appears that Chelsea must choose between Osimhen and Leao because the club cannot sign both while keeping to Financial Fair Play regulations.
