It’s not too unfair to say Todd Boehly’s time at Chelsea so far has been a complete disaster. A scattergun approach to transfers hasn’t paid off and there’s now a squad full of expensive contracts who a new manager may not want to use.
Mauricio Pochettino is set to be the man to take the Blues into next season and he’s got a busy few months on his hands. Chelsea know they need multiple exits, but part of the problem for the Premier League side is that every other club around Europe is aware of the desperation for sales at Stamford Bridge.
That means there’s people looking for bargains and not necessarily the deals that Boehly will have expected this summer.
TuttoMercatoWeb say Chelsea are set for a transfer revolution, and multiple players have their ‘suitcases packed’ as vultures circle to sign them.
Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Carney Chukwuemeka, Hakim Ziyech, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku could potentially be of interest to Serie A clubs.
TuttoMercatoWeb name some options, yet one thing is clear… Italian sides are going to be tough when it comes to transfer fees and will almost certainly prefer loan deals.
