Shocking Drama at Chelsea: Furious Pochettino Explodes as Owner Puts Star Midfielder on the Chopping Block!
Mauricio Pochettino is furious as Chelsea’s owner puts midfielder up for sale
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has transformed the team’s fortunes this season. The Blues have won four consecutive Premier League matches and have only lost once in their last thirteen league games. This impressive form has lifted them from mid-table to sixth place, overtaking Newcastle United and Manchester United.
However, Pochettino is reportedly livid as the club’s board has decided to list Conor Gallagher for sale, as per Teamtalk. To adhere to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, Chelsea needs to sell some players due to their recent heavy spending. Selling Gallagher, a valuable asset, would help balance the club’s finances and avoid penalties from the authorities.
The midfielder, who is nearing the final year of his contract, is seen by the club as a prime candidate for sale. His potential transfer would be considered pure profit since he is a homegrown player. Despite this, Pochettino values Gallagher highly and wishes to keep him at the club.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has indicated that Chelsea aims to offload Gallagher this summer for at least £50 million, a move that is likely to frustrate the Argentine manager. Jacobs stated, “The door is still open for a Conor Gallagher sale, Chelsea are looking for at least £50m. Nothing is close at this stage on a contract extension.”
Pochettino’s disagreement with the Chelsea management might spark further speculation about his future at the club, making the end-of-season review crucial. Gallagher has been one of Chelsea’s standout performers this season, second only to Cole Palmer in terms of impact.
Pochettino needs to focus on maintaining the team’s recent success and let the club’s hierarchy handle major decisions.
