Pochettino ‘Will Be Angry’ If Boehly sanctions £40 million Chelsea Deal
When the summer transfer market opens, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino will be “very angry” if co-owner Todd Boehly approves Conor Gallagher’s departure from Stamford Bridge.
Gallagher has been the subject of numerous transfer rumors this season since it was thought Chelsea would have permitted him to leave the team for the right price.
This has given rise to persistent rumors in the media that WEST HAM is eager to try and clinch a deal for the midfield player. They even made an offer of £40 million, but the Blues turned it down since they were hoping for more like £50 million for Gallagher.
He has featured in the opening months of the season for Mauricio Pochettino, but he has not shone like many had hoped for and that has led to alot of speculation that he will be allowed to depart the club.
And according to recent reports on the Metro website – CHELSEA FC will listen to offers for the midfielder and will allow him to depart the club should their £40 million asking price be met
but transfer insider Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that Pochettino will be very upset if the club allow Gallagher to depart the club in the upcoming transfer window, he said: “New links have started between Conor Gallagher and Newcastle, and it does not surprise me they would have interest, but I am not sure how far I would expect that to go.
“Obviously, Gallagher doesn’t want to leave Chelsea. He can’t even think about it at the moment, as far as I’ve heard, because he just doesn’t want it to happen. But if he does leave Chelsea, I have heard that him moving that far away from his family would not be ideal.
“I think another club in London could work better, and we know Spurs are keen and that his homegrown status would help them. It really is still a case of wait and see because if Pochettino does end up staying beyond this season, he would be very angry to see Gallagher sold.”
SHOULD GALLAGHER STAY AT CHELSEA?
There is no doubt that Gallagher is a talented midfielder that could shine under Pochettino – so if the boss wants him at CHELSEA FC – stay. Especially as there is a place for him in the side.
