Mauricio Pochettino set to finally axe £31.5m Chelsea star who refused summer transfer

In the January transfer window, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino plans to continue making changes by both offloading players and adding new players.

Ian Maatsen, a young defender who made his Premier League debut for Chelsea this season, is expected to be let go in January.

Just four months after turning down the opportunity to leave Stamford Bridge on the last day of the summer transfer window, the 21-year-old is about to sign with Borussia Dortmund. The deal will add to Mauricio Pochettino’s hectic month-long schedule, which will once again see a plethora of arrivals and departures at the team.

The 2018 transfer from PSV to the London club for the Dutch Under-21 international saw him make his senior debut in an EFL Cup match against Grimsby the following year. However, that did not work as a launching pad for regular Premier League football, and a string of loan moves ensued.

He spent entire seasons at Charlton, Coventry City, and Burnley before contributing to the Clarets’ Championship victory the previous campaign. As the summer transfer window came to an end, Vincent Kompany and associates put up a £31.5 million bid for him in an attempt to sign him permanently, but Maatsen turned down the offer.

Since then, he has made 12 appearances in the Premier League this season, most of which have been as a substitute. The Telegraph also claims that advanced negotiations are currently underway with the German side to finalize a deal.

But it’s still unclear if the left-back will sign a long-term contract or go on loan at first. According to reports, Dortmund wants to get rid of him as soon as possible in order to balance their transfer plans with FFP constraints. The Blues would rather see him signed to a temporary contract for the balance of the 2023–2024 season.

Maatsen is reportedly amenable to a transfer as well, despite his manager’s suggestion last month that the player wasn’t quite ready for a spot in his starting lineup. Pochettino stated: “Young players sometimes they can impress you in pre-season but you need to give them time after to relax.” This is true even though the team activated a clause to extend his contract until 2025. They encounter difficulties occasionally.

He’s a great kid and a member of our squad. He can play a variety of positions and has excellent quality; the key is to give him time. He was from Burnley in the Championship the previous year. With all due respect, there are differences between performing at Chelsea and other competitions.

Ben Chilwell’s injury has forced Levi Colwill to step in as the Blues’ starting left-back. After a loan stint at Brighton, the 20-year-old was also the focus of summertime rumors, but a move across London never happened.

Breaking News: Chelsea has finally offer three players in outrageous swap deal that would break European football

Published

on

Chelsea might execute one of the most surprising trades in living memory.

According to reports, Chelsea is willing to approve a trade that would result in the departure of three players.

The Blues had a very busy transfer window and had to work quickly to cut down Enzo Maresca’s roster, which at one point included forty-three players.

The team sold players like Romelu Lukaku and Conor Gallagher, and loaned out players like Raheem Sterling, Trevoh Chalobah, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

However, a recent source claims that Chelsea intends to cut even more players from its roster in January, leaving a number of peripheral players on the team.

The Blues are reportedly looking to add Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez to strengthen their attacking lineup, according to Argentine publication Doble Amarilla.

Despite being linked to moves for Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney during the summer, Chelsea ultimately opted not to bolster their striking lineup.

The Blues are rumored to have been considering a €100 million bid to sign Martinez, who has scored 20 goals in Serie A over the previous three seasons.

However, they are currently looking on a trade involving Mykhailo Mudryk, a winger that Chelsea paid £88 million to acquire in January 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Carney Chukwuemeka and Benoit Badiashile are reportedly other possible inclusions in any exchange agreement.

Martinez, one of Inter’s most important players, was benched for Wednesday’s 0-0 Champions League tie against Manchester City.

Marcus Thuram and recent addition Medhi Taremi made up the ideal strike tandem according to manager Simone Inzaghi.

Martinez, an Argentine who has failed to score in any of his first three Serie A games this season, was reportedly rested from the starting lineup by Gazzetta dello Sport.

TERMINI CONCORDATI: The attacker rejects Chelsea’s million-dollar deal and agrees to follow his heart and join Ac Milan – VOLA PER FARE I MEDICAL.

Paulo Fonseca has successfully added a new name to his numerous offerings this season, and Silvano Vos is eager to begin his adventure with the Rossoneri officially with his arrival in Milan this evening.

Arriving in town yesterday afternoon, the Dutch gamer has started getting acquainted with the world of Rossoneri this morning.

The medical check-ups for the 19-year-old defensive centre have started today at La Madonnina facility. Once completed, Vos will visit the Ambrosia Centre to obtain the necessary athletic eligibility, and he will conclude his “tour” at Casa Milan by signing a five-year contract that will bind him to the AC Milan team.

According to Milan News, the gifted player will officially join the Aja Rossoneri for 2.5 million euros plus 2.5 million in bonuses.

In the meantime, there are reports that the Italian team is able to capitalise on Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, but it appears that these reports are the only ones because the player is ready to align with the Blues.

Further reports from Fabrizio Romano have also stated that Victor Osimhen would also join the Saudi club Al Alhi, which made a 63 million dollar bid at the start of the season, thus cutting out the Serie A team from the agreement.

Due to the fact that Victor Osimhen successfully joined Milan, Paulo Fonseca should make some purchases before the expiration date, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the next days as the manager may decide to make more market choices.

Signing a player like that makes you totally unbeatable” Mourinho eyes Amrabat as Fenerbahce makes first offer to Fiorentina

You become completely unbeatable if you start a gaming of that kind. Amrabat is scored by Mourinho, while Fenerbahce makes the first bid to Fiorentina.

Establishing a gaming company of that kind makes you completely unbeatable. Mourinho scores a point against Amrabat, while Fenerbahce makes the first bid to Fiorentina.

José Mourinho considers Sofyan Amrabat, the Moroccan centre-back who recently joined Fiorentina following a transfer from Manchester United, to be his top priority. According to a number of sources, including Sky Sport Italy, Mourinho—then the Fenerbahce’s assistant—decided to bring Amrabat to Turkey prior to the termination of the official transfer deadline.

Fenerbahce has already made an initial bid for the 27-year-old, who has been one of Morocco’s main players in the World Cup 2022. Due to the fact that Fiorentina’s all-star, Raffaele Palladino, is very close to Amrabat and has been reintroduced into the squad for Serie A matches against Parma and Venezia, where he has played for all ninety minutes in each match, speculation about his potential transfer is growing.

Amrabat’s situation at Fiorentina has been uncertain since his return from Manchester United. Considering his excellent performance, the Premier League team has decided not to make the transfer permanent. Amrabat, who was born in Italy, holds the record for most goals scored and assists given in 119 Serie A appearances with Fiorentina and Hellas Verona.

The interest of the Fenerbahce has added a another layer of complexity to Amrabat’s future. Given Mourinho’s influence and the Turkish club’s resources, the transfer may happen quickly. However, the Florence team is disappointed to lose a player of Amrabat’s calibre, especially when it comes to trying to compete both nationally and in European competitions.

As the market closes in, all eyes will be focused on the Fiorentina’s response to the Fenerbahce’s bid and the possibility that Mourinho’s interest could persuade the Moroccan national team to move to Turkey. The next few days will be crucial in determining whether Amrabat stays in Florence or launches a new chapter under Mourinho’s leadership in the Fenerbahce.
