Adams has been a key player for Leeds last season after joining from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. However, he couldn’t help the club remain in the Premier League and is now looking to make a move in order to play in the top flight in 2023-24.

Reportedly, Adams has a £20 million release clause in his contract, and Leeds couldn’t stop him from leaving if Chelsea activates it. However, there are expectations that the two clubs will try to negotiate a different structure first.

Tyler Adams emerged as one of the most talented young midfielders in soccer in recent years. Besides his stellar plays with Leipzig and Leeds, Adams has also been a cornerstone of the young United States men’s national team. He currently serves as USMNT’s captain, an honor he received ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and has collected 36 international caps.

Chelsea has been working on bringing in new midfielders for quite some time after the new head coach Mauricio Pochettino identified it as an area of need. Besides Adams, the club is also interested in Brighton’s Moises Caicedo but is still reluctant to pay the asking price of £100 million.

Pulisic will reportedly be available for a discount price of just £20 million. The London club previously paid £58 million to sign the 24-year-old American from Borussia Dortmund in 2019.

Juventus are looking for ways to improve their squad without spending too much money, considering that they won’t play UEFA Champions League next season. Pulisic seems like a perfect candidate since he still has a big upside despite his failure to make an impact in Premier League.

The only thing standing in the way of Pulisic’s transfer is the player’s wages. He is one of the highest-paid Chelsea players and would need to take a significant pay cut in order to play in Italy.

Chelsea, on the other hand, wants to trim down their squad as they look to return to the top of the Premier League under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. Besides Pulisic, several other players are set to depart the club, including Hakim Ziyech and Mateo Kovacic.

Christian Pulisic will leave Chelsea, having scored 26 goals and added 21 assists in 145 games in all competitions. He won three trophies during his time in London, including the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2020-21.

“We are disappointed when we come off the pitch and feel angry and disappointed,” Sterling stated in a newspaper interview. “There are times when we finish a game you just sit in the changing room looking into space because you can’t understand what has just happened. It’s tough to take. You are always trying to look for a positive solution. There will be conversations, players trying to come to terms with what has happened in the last ten minutes or so. It’s not easy.”

Following their 2-0 loss to Brentford last Wednesday, Chelsea is now in 11th position in the Premier League, possibly heading to their worst season since 1993-94 when they finished 14th under Glenn Hoddle.

The Blues’ inconsistent form comes despite the club’s owners’ major investments in the club, including signings such as Enzo Fernandez, Wesley Fofana, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Marc Cucurella, and Sterling himself, who arrived from Man City in July.

The Athletic reports that Chelsea believes Pochettino’s coaching style would be a great fit for the club. He has experience in helping younger players reach their potential while also being experienced in dealing with stars and their big egos.

The London club is believed to have a three-man shortlist at the moment, with Burnley’s manager Vincent Kompany and a mysterious candidate being on it besides Pochettino. Chelsea’s brass will have another round of interviews with all three, but Pochettino is considered to have a big advantage.

Mauricio Pochettino has been out of the job since leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the 2021-22 season. He has also been linked with a return to Tottenham, where he did an admirable job between 2014-2019. 

When Chelsea first sacked Graham Potter back in March, Pochettino’s name wasn’t even mentioned as part of the club’s search. Instead, the Premier League side has been focused on ex-Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann and former Spain and Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique.

Enrique was crossed off due to his prolonged absence from club football and the notion that his style doesn’t fit the Premier League. Nagelsmann, on the other hand, has decided to take himself out of the race this week.

The game appeared to be a cagey affair during the first half, with Chelsea putting pressure on the visitors as they searched for a way back into the game after losing the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu 2-0. Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella came closest to scoring, with Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois stretching to save his close-range effort in order to keep the game goalless.

Once the second half got underway, Real Madrid emerged as the stronger team, with Rodrygo grabbing a vital away goal in the 58th minute to dash the home side’s hopes of launching an improbable comeback. The winger scored again in the 80th minute to seal Real Madrid’s place in the semifinals.

“I don’t know how to explain it. I always say it’s a very special competition for me, every time I play I can help the team,” Rodrygo said in his post-match interview. “I’m happy and I hope to carry on like that, scoring more goals, providing more assists, and winning the Champions League again.”

Real Madrid will face the winner in the matchup between Manchester City and Bayern Munich. City currently has the advantage, having defeated Bayern 3-0 in the first leg.

Chelsea finalized the move on Thursday, with Lampard attending a training session the same day.

“It was a pretty easy decision for me. This is my club, in terms of my playing career and having managed and coached here before. I have a lot of emotions and feelings towards the club, “said Lampard at a press conference. 

Chelsea sacked Potter on Sunday, ending his stint with the club after just seven months. Potter lost 11 of his 31 games in charge, with the tipping point being a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa over the weekend.

The club reportedly has a long list of managers it is considering for Potter’s successor, but didn’t want to rush the hiring in order to avoid repeating previous mistakes. Some of the names mentioned include Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, and Mauricio Pochettino.

Frank Lampard is an absolute legend at Stamford Bridge, being Chelsea’s all-time leading goalscorer and helping the club win three Premier League titles and UEFA Champions League as a player. Lampard also managed the club from June 2019 to January 2021 before being sacked after a poor run of results.

Potter’s dismissal came after the former Brighton boss spent just seven months in charge. During Potter’s reign, Chelsea slipped to 11th position in the Premier League and was eliminated early on in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. The Blues are still in the Champions League, however, and are set to face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.

Among the managers being considered for the role is Julian Nagelsmann, who was recently dismissed from his role at Bayern Munich. Other considerations include former Barcelona and Spain manager Luis Enrique and former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino. Not all individuals included on the list have yet been approached by the club, however.

Despite being linked by numerous media outlets to the role, current Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is not being considered for the role.

Under the leadership of interim manager Bruno Saltor, Chelsea is set to face Liverpool in the Premier League on Tuesday night in a game that they hope will be the turning point in their season.

As a result of Saturday’s loss, Chelsea has now slipped into the bottom half of the Premier League table, sitting in 11th place with 38 points.

Since replacing Thomas Tuchel as manager in September, Potter lost 11 of his 31 games in charge in all competitions. While Chelsea has advanced to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the team is no longer in the running for the Premier League title and was eliminated in the early stages of both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

“On behalf of everyone at the club, we want to thank Graham sincerely for his contribution to Chelsea,” co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali stated. “We have the highest degree of respect for Graham as a coach and as a person. He has always conducted himself with professionalism and integrity and we are all disappointed in this outcome.”

Bruno Saltor, who has been Potter’s assistant at both Brighton and Chelsea, is set to be the team’s interim coach until a new managerial appointment is made.

Felix recently had a chat with British media and was asked if he would like to stay in London after his loan expires. The 23-year-old player responded that he is currently focused on the 2022-23 season but admitted that he feels great with Chelsea.

“I am happy here,” Felix added. “The club is so big is amazing, everyone behind the club is so good, so yes I am happy to be here.”

Felix later hinted that Chelsea’s ability to get a UCL spot would play a big role in his decision whether to stay in the club on a permanent basis.

“Playing the Champions League is always different. It is the competition that everyone wants to play,” he added. “… Playing Champions League, it is [an] important decision. But the future, no one knows, so let’s see what happens.”

A recent poor run of results pushed Chelsea down the Premier League table and away from the UCL spots. They are currently 10th in the standings and find themselves 11 points behind Tottenham, who holds the fourth and final UCL position.

According to reports, Chelsea is expected to offer him a new three-year deal worth through June 2026. Multiple reports have claimed that negotiations between the two parties have gone smoothly.

Despite the challenging period being faced by the club as of late, Kante remains satisfied at Chelsea and intends to remain at the club. Even as injuries have hampered Kante’s ability to perform over the last two seasons, manager Graham Potter and the club’s new owners remain keen to keep the French midfielder at the club. Potter sees Kante as an ideal partner to new signing Enzo Fernandez, who won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina.

Kante arrived at Chelsea in 2016, fresh after his Premier League title win with Leicester City. Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Kante has won the Premier League, Europa League, and Champions League.

The 31-year-old player has been sidelined since August last year, missing out on the World Cup as a result. Recently, he returned to training with the team and is soon to return to first-team action.
