Barely arrived at Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino made it known publicly that he hoped for recruits. A wish not necessarily easy to grant for its leaders since they must cut down to stay in the nails of financial fair play. But after Wesley Fofana’s serious knee injury, the Blues will have no choice.
“It’s really sad, it’s very bad news. The only thing we can do is help him find the team. We know it’s difficult, we have to help him and wish him the best so that he comes back to the team as soon as possible. We have to keep moving forward, the competition is there. » Asked about this sad news, Pochettino only spoke about the Frenchman and did not mention the possibility of replacing him.
The Blues are looking for a replacement for Fofana
However, the London club is indeed probing the market. Lately the Sun assured that the European champions had an eye on the plague of Manchester United, Harry Maguire. A player still estimated at 80 M € minimum by the Red Devils. For his part, the DailyMail indicates that Chelsea would consider bringing back a former home: the English international Espoirs, Marc Guehi.
Aged 23 and under contract until 2026, the latter left the Blues in 2021 to join Crystal Palace. Sold in exchange for a check for €23.34 million, Guehi is now estimated at €70 million by the Eagles. Will Chelsea agree to pay such a sum for a player rather well sold only two years ago? Case to follow.
