Three Clubs After $50Million Conor Gallagher

    A price tag has finally been attached to Conor Gallagher for 50 million pounds, and so far, three clubs have already shown interest in signing the dynamic midfielder. It comes to no surprise that the American owners of club would be willing to sell home-grown talent for profit, considering financial fair play laws; but Gallagher has been stellar for Chelsea this season. With only a year left on his contract, the time is now to sell him or extend him. It will be sad to see him go. 

    Tottenham Hotspurs have had him on their shortlist for some time. Chelsea would not be doing themselves any favors by giving a hometown favorite to a rival club. Gallagher is a Blues fan so a move to Tottenham would be the worst thing for him. 

    Aston Villa is the latest club to show interest in signing the midfielder. It looks as though they might throw in another player as part of the transfer fee. The Guardian reported that Villa may be looking to include Columbian striker, Jhon Duran as part of the deal. Chelsea was looking at signing the 20-year-old back in January, so that may help sweeten the deal. Although I'd hate to see him leave, I'd rather see Gallagher as a Lion at Villa Park than a Hotspur.

    If we have to let him go, the third option may be the best one. Athletico Madrid have also shown interest in signing him. Gallagher has Athletico written all over him. He is gritty, aggressive, and fights harder than anyone else on the pitch to win a ball. We have seen Chelsea players excel with Diego Simeone and it would be better to see him shine abroad rather than against us. 

    Many players will be leaving soon. This Chelsea squad will look drastically different by the end of summer. Let's hope for the better.

Chelsea Select New Manager

Chelsea Settled on Enzo Maresca © Provided by Metro      There had been much speculation about who would be replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea, but they have finally come to a decision. An agreement has been reached with Leicester City to sign Enzo Maresca for 10 million pounds. While he wasn’t on the top of any short list that I’ve read over the last week, Maresca might fit perfectly into the new Sporting Directors’ plan. Who is Enzo Maresca?      Enzo Maresca is a 44-year-old Italian former player with the likes of Juventus and Sevilla. After spending some time as an assistant coach under Pellegrini at West Ham, a failed stint as manager at Parma, and assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Man City, Maresca just led Leicester city to a Championship title and promotion back into the Premier League. There are some who have voiced concern over his short stint at Serie B club, Parma, that resulted in being sacked after a dozen or so games, but the disciple of Guardiola has promise.

 Enzo Fernandez Racist Chant Has Team Divided      Enzo Fernandez came under fire after a video surfaced of the Argentinian National team chanting racist remarks. Argentina was awarded the Copa America 2024 after defeating Colombia 1-0 on a day shrouded by controversy. The game was delayed over an hour after fans created chaos by storming the gates. Hundreds of fans climbed the gates and entered the stadium without tickets, leaving those with tickets outside while security attempted to restore order. The game ended with an Argentine victory, but the players are facing the aftershock of their celebration song.  Fernandez, midfielder for Chelsea, posted a video on Instagram of the team chanting about the French National team. They are singing about the players being from Africa but documented as French. It targets Mbappe directly, whose father is from Cameroon, and his mother is from Algeria. Shortly after posting the video, his Chelsea teammate and French national player, Wesley Fofana

Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Departure

 Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Firing       The decision to release Mauricio Pochettino has been a shock to many of the players and coaching staff. One Chelsea legend and current academy coach took to Instagram to express his feelings about the departure. John Terry, longtime defender and team captain during their most successful era, wrote that he is "gutted" by Poch's exit. Chelsea fans share in his hope that players are not bought or sold until the next manager is selected.      If the sporting directors or ownership at Stamford Bridge had any sense, they would listen to the five-time EPL winner. They need to figure out the new manager's tactics and formation so they can collaborate on acquiring players who will fit their style of play. That was one of the problems all of the five managers have had in the last couple of years. They all picked up a squad arranged by the previous manager that didn't fit the formation or tactic. Also, the players couldn'
