Mauricio Pochettino could sign ‘new Ronaldinho’ at Chelsea as Todd Boehly holds secret meeting.
The Blues will move for Neymar if Manchester City sanction key deal this summer.
Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager of Chelsea, could potentially secure the signing of a player dubbed the 'new Ronaldinho' as Todd Boehly, the club's ambitious owner, held a secret meeting. Meanwhile, if Manchester City approves a significant deal this summer, the Blues could make a move for Neymar.
Barcelona's hopes of securing their desired transfers have been shattered within a matter of days as Lionel Messi ruled out a return to his former club. After announcing that he had played his final game for Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentine superstar received offers from teams across the globe.
While Messi admitted that he hasn't completely closed the door on Barcelona, he expressed his desire to leave Europe and shift his focus towards his family, especially after the uncertain circumstances surrounding his departure from the Catalan club. Barcelona's financial difficulties and the need to sell or reduce player salaries were also factors that influenced his decision.
With Barcelona out of the picture, Chelsea and owner Todd Boehly could once again enter the race for a marquee signing. Despite not participating in the Champions League next season, Boehly remains eager to add a superstar name to the squad. Previously, there were reports of Boehly dreaming of bringing Messi to Stamford Bridge, but now that Neymar is available, the situation has taken a new turn.
Boehly reportedly held a secret meeting with PSG officials earlier this year to discuss the possibility of signing Neymar. There is also undisclosed Premier League interest in the Brazilian forward from other clubs, further adding to the uncertainty surrounding his future.
The outcome of Neymar's situation may depend on Manchester City's transfer decisions, as a complex triangle of business begins to take shape. PSG is rumored to be interested in Bernardo Silva, and Barcelona, who were also hoping to sign the Portuguese star, may struggle to match PSG's financial power.
The potential signing of Neymar by Chelsea also raises the possibility of a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine manager worked with Neymar at PSG between 2020 and 2022, witnessing the Brazilian's impressive performances, with 21 goals and 16 assists in 47 matches.
Pochettino has spoken highly of Neymar's professionalism and his ability to effortlessly adapt to instructions. He compared Brazilian players' love for the game to a dance, noting their unique style and flair on the pitch. Pochettino's previous experience playing alongside Ronaldinho during his time at PSG adds another layer of connection to Neymar, further fueling speculation about a potential reunion at Chelsea.
