Mauricio Pochettino encounters one big issue with the chelsea star exit threatening
Mauricio Pochettino may be compelled to make a transfer due to rumors that Cesar Azpilicueta may be leaving Chelsea. The Blues have a significant summer window, and their new manager is aware that he must capitalize on it.
Nicolas Jackson is on the verge of finalizing his transfer to Chelsea, joining the likes of Christian Nkunku at the club this summer. Ex-Tottenham manager Pochettino may be facing an issue behind the scenes, despite the fact that these are exciting young names.
Fabrizio Romano reported that club captain and veteran Azpilicueta could leave Chelsea soon, as he is awaiting the club’s approval for a mutual termination of his contract. Reportedly, he has reached a personal agreement with Inter Milan for a two-year contract.
While he is currently superfluous to requirements at Stamford Bridge with Reece James ahead of him in the right-back pecking order, his departure would leave a massive void.
This is due to the fact that Chelsea’s current roster severely lacks leaders.
Other than Thiago Silva, Pochettino has no true captains at his disposal. Yes, they have experienced players like Raheem Sterling, but he is hardly the leader needed to help the Blues recover from a disappointing season.
There are also players like Reece James who have come through the Chelsea academy and are true blues, but he would be under so much pressure at such a tender age.
In addition, Silva is aging and does not have a long-term future at Stamford Bridge, placing Chelsea’s leadership in a precarious position when it comes to finding leaders.
If Pochettino wants to return Chelsea to their former glory as soon as possible, he is aware of the next transfer targets he and the Blues hierarchy must pursue. It’s a pivotal moment for the institution.
