Pochettino urges Chelsea board to secure Manchester United’s Raphael Varane in surprise transfer bid
Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, is reportedly pushing for an unsafe decision to sign Manchester United’s Raphael Varane.
According to Journalist, Simon Phillips, Pochettino approached Todd Boehly and the Chelsea board, with a strong proposal to make a surprise offer for the out-of-favor defender.
Pochettino sees Varane as an opportunity to enhance Chelsea’s backline, bringing a layer of experience and defensive prowess.
Despite Varane’s recent problems at Manchester United, Pochettino feels a change of scenery might revitalize his career.
While the board member who proposed this speculative move remains unidentified, insiders close to the story are skeptical, considering Varane’s recent fall in form and persistent injury difficulties.
Varane’s age of 30 also raises eyebrows, raising concerns about the long-term possibility of such a move.
According to first impressions, Chelsea’s current defensive lineup, which includes the seasoned Thiago Silva, appears to be strong.
However, with Silva’s contract expiring, Pochettino may see Varane as a potential successor and strategic addition to the squad.
Fans are waiting to see if Todd Boehly and Chelsea will take Pochettino’s proposal, potentially shaking up the Premier League transfer market with a surprise deal for Raphael Varane.
