In this summer’s current transfer market, the world has already seen big money moves. The likes of Jude Bellingham heading to Real Madrid and talks of Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane making switches to other European giants.
In this write up we discuss if the Chelsea pull is big enough to convince available players to make the move to Stamford Bridge, even without the draw of European football at the Bridge next season.
After the recent announcement that Christopher Nkunku is now a confirmed Blue, the club will be looking to secure further signatures to help strengthen the squad and fill the spaces of a potential number of departures.
Todd Boehly and co may encounter an issue where players such as Declan Rice, who is looking as though he is about to choose Man City or Arsenal over Chelsea, due to the reason is that both teams were not only treble winners and premier league runners-up last season but also the fact they will be contesting for Champions League football in the 2023 – 2024 campaign.
There are a few factors as to what Chelsea can offer to pull top players to the club, starting with attractive salaries. With the rumored number of outgoings increasing and some transfers close to being confirmed, means there will be freeing up of finances in terms of the payroll. Players such as Kalidou Koulibaly, N’Golo Kante, Romelu Lukaku and Kai Havertz departing means money can be put into higher salaries for the possible incomings. Koulibaly and Lukaku, as well as former player Kante, are all earning around or above £300,000 a week.
Secondly, the idea of the “project”. Since Todd Boehly took over, there’s been no holding back with the signings, a total spend of around £600 million on players like Mykhilo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke shows that the owners are keen to reshape Chelsea Football Club and strive to be the best team in the world within the next five years. If the clubs ownerships and backroom staff can convince possible signings about the project, they would be likely to sign and join the journey.
Another reason is the manager. The confirmation of former PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino arriving at Stamford Bridge as head coach for the upcoming season has become an exciting move for fans as time has gone on. Pochettino, although having not had major premier league winners success as yet, transformed Tottenham into a dangerous team where players all around the park were performing and had bags of chemistry.
At the stage Chelsea are in right now, with young players who have huge amounts of potential but need the right guidance and player management, the Argentine is thought to be the right man for the job. Working hard to get the club playing as a team again and re-forming the connection of the players and club with the fans once more.
Chelsea FC has always had the ability to gravitate some of the best players in the world to west London and assuming all goes smoothly next season, the Blues should be back to winning ways and looking at gaining a top-seven finish in the league.
