The new project of Chelseacon Mauricio Pochettino on the bench, it is assuming a whole sporting and economic revolution. From the recent past, with Graham Potter y Frank Lampard on the bench, with a disappointing finish in 12th place, there will be almost nothing left. In fact, erasing all traces is what the weary owners of the south-west London club wanted.
of players with very low performance and a large and unbalanced squad. The Argentine coach has been given full powers and also important concessions, such as transfers
of two midfielders, moises caicedo (Brighton) (133 million euros) and Romeo Lavia (Southampton) (68 million), with which they have just broken the market again.
While the Premier League looks the other way, and has simply acknowledged, through its chief executive, Richard Masterswho is investigating the accounts of the Chelsea since
time, the signing of Caicedo represents another impact and turning point: a record deal of 133 million euros, which will take the club’s spending to around 900 million since the

The march of 13 players — the goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga It has been the last, on loan to Real Madrid– it is part of the priorities set for Pochettino. Cleaning and generating illusion.
Weighty players have left, like Mount, Havertz, Kante, Kovacic , Azpilicueta or LoftusCheek. And there may be several more sales, before the transfer market closes on September 1. The squad reached 29 players, with almost no free space at the Cobhan Training Centre, and they are still on the starting ramp Romelu Lukaku – Conor Gallagher

The ‘blue’ squad will be reduced and transformed, because that is the way the Argentine coach wants it, who prioritizes working with a like-minded and regenerated group for his game ideas. Pochettino bet

That sports policy Chelsea It continues to generate many doubts, due to its oversized economic capacity compared to its rivals. Raising his offer to the limit, the ‘blues’ have robbed him

that shadow of suspicion.

You count the cost of the transfers, plus their salaries, over the next eight years. The serious problem will be if the performance of the signings is not good, since the amortization of those long
contracts will then be greatly affected.
The alarm raised by the experts is that the Chelsea could incur significant red numbers in the future. The Premier regulations establish that clubs can only have losses
for a value of 120 million euros in a period of three years. In this scenario, for the ‘blues’ it has been a drama not to qualify for the Champions League, since they have lost very important

After converting to Enzo Fernandez in the most expensive player in the history of English football, when he signed him for 121 million euros in January, the Chelsea has already overcome, in a few months,
