Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be ready to take over as the new Chelsea manager in the summer as the discussion enters final stage where transfer will be discussed.
The Argentine who last managed Paris Saint Germain PSG (French League 1) had previously managed Tottenham Hotspur (English Premier league) and enjoyed a healthy rivalry over there.
Chelsea have endured one of their worst seasons and a season with a heavy challenge under their new owners, with a string of managerial changes and poorly with large signings seeming to be unsettled in the squad.
Pochettino looks a fine choice to come in as manager, though, and Chelsea fans will hope this saga can be resolved soon so plans can start for rebuilding the team in the summer.
A new striker certainly seems like a must for CFC, while fans will also surely be hoping for a positive outcome from talks over Mount’s future.
“I can’t predict the timing on the Mauricio Pochettino deal being finalised, this depends on Chelsea, but it’s really close now,” Romano said.
“The conversation is progressing very well and it’s at final stages, so really close.
“For targets, it’s still early to mention names but for sure Chelsea will go for new number 6, new striker and the rest will be discussed in the next weeks, including Mason Mount situation.”
