Chelsea had previously considered bringing Mauricio Pochettino to Stamford Bridge as he closes in on being officially unveiled as the Blues' new manager, according to journalist Dharmesh Sheth.
What's the latest news involving Mauricio Pochettino?
As per 90min, Chelsea are said to be 'inching closer' to appointing Pochettino as their new manager and the two parties only have 'minor details' to iron out before the Argentinian is announced as Graham Potter's permanent successor.
The report also states that Pochettino will be given the freedom to shape his squad appropriately and will have a major say in who is allowed to depart Stamford Bridge this summer.
Sky Sports revealed last week that Chelsea have been 'admirers' of the 51-year-old manager in the past and 'enquired about his availability' following their decision to part ways with Thomas Tuchel in 2022.
Pochettino has been out of work since the end of the 2021/22 season after he left Paris Saint-Germain despite leading them to the Ligue 1 title.
Football Insider claims that the former Spurs boss is already getting to work scoping out potential additions for the Blues, with Bayern Munich winger Sadio Mane thought to be one of his transfer targets.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, journalist Sheth thinks that Pochettino will have been given 'reassurances' by the Chelsea hierarchy that will have given him encouragement as he closes in on returning to management at Stamford Bridge.
Sheth said: “I think he was considered a couple of times before by Chelsea, particularly when they appointed Graham Potter. At the time, it wasn't right for Pochettino.
“Something has changed, and in the discussions that he will have had with the Chelsea owners, he would have probably got the reassurances that he wanted, not only about issues like his backroom staff but also about how he's going to need to trim the squad.
“We know that Pochettino likes to work with a squad that's not inflated.”
What happens now for Chelsea?
In all honestly, Chelsea could do with some positive news in the near future, especially given their current woeful run of form in recent weeks.
Caretaker boss Frank Lampard hasn't been able to get a tune out of his squad, losing six from six since being brought in to steady the ship in west London.

Incredibly, despite their enormous spending power, the Blues lie 12th in the Premier League table with five games left to play and sit nine points above the relegation zone, signifying that they are still not mathematically safe from the drop.
Of course, it is extremely unlikely that Chelsea will suffer such a fate come the end of this term; however, it's an indication of how underwhelming this season has been at Stamford Bridge for all involved.
Pochettino will be keen to establish his vision early on in pre-season at the club to avoid a repeat scenario in 2023/24.
Chelsea will look to pursue Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana this summer as they eye a new preferred option between the sticks, says journalist Dean Jones.
What's the latest transfer news involving Andre Onana?
As per LondonWorld, Chelsea, alongside Tottenham Hotspur, are set to compete for the signature of Inter Milan goalkeeper Onana this summer in a potential deal that could be worth in the region of £40 million.
The report claims that the Blues will move to replace both Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy, while Onana is seen as an ideal target due to his modest 'financial demands'.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb via Sport Witness, 27-year-old Onana's performances for Inter Milan ‘have not gone unnoticed’ and Chelsea ‘continue to monitor’ him ahead of the off-season.
Despite being seen as a 'pillar' at the Nerrazurri, it is said that an offer of €60 million (£52 million) may be enough to entice the Cameroon international to Stamford Bridge.
Capology understand that Onana earns roughly €74,038 (£64,310) per week on the books at the San Siro on a contract that runs until June 2027.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, journalist Jones believes that Chelsea will have a good chance of acquiring Onana this summer.
Jones said: "There's definitely potential for this one. We've known that he has been on Chelsea's radar for a while and obviously they have recruitment and scouting that goes on beyond whoever the manager is at that time. So it doesn't matter too much on the goalkeeping front what Pochettino makes of it. He'll obviously have a say, but the decision will always be made as a group over a decision like this and Onana is somebody that they’re certainly exploring.”
Would Andre Onana be a good signing for Chelsea?
Onana has been in good form for Inter Milan this season and has managed to keep 17 clean sheets in 36 appearances across all competitions before his side's Champions League semi-final first-leg clash against AC Milan, as per Transfermarkt.
WhoScored also notes that the Cameroon international ranks among the top ten most consistent performers for Inter Milan this campaign, registering an average match rating of 6.91/10 for his exploits on the pitch.
The 27-year-old has also recorded a save percentage of 76.1% in Serie A this season, demonstrating his presence as a reliable asset between the sticks, as per FBRef.
All things considered, Onana would be a safe pair of hands to assume the number one jersey at Chelsea in 2023/24 as the Blues look to freshen things up at Stamford Bridge.

Mohammad Sharif, the Gazi Group Cricketers’ medium pacer, recorded a hat-trick in a Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League fixture against Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club in Mirpur on Wednesday. He became the third bowler after Rubel Hossain and Tapash Baisya to achieve the feat since the tournament was granted List A status in 2013.Sharif’s hat-trick lit up a leaden day and changed the course of Dhanmondi’s innings on a day when the match was forced into the reserve day. In the 34th over, Mahmudullah holed out to Saeed Anwar jnr at deep midwicket. Off the next ball, Zabid Hossain was bowled. Sharif had is third wicket when he trapped Nazmus Sadat lbw. Muktar Ali’s dismissal off the next ball made it four wickets in four balls in the over, with Sharif effecting the run out. Dhanmondi were restricted to 168 for 9, with Sharif finishing with 4 for 43 in eight overs.”I am the highest wicket-taker in first-class cricket among the pace bowlers. The culture in our country is to call a player “old” when they reach the age of 30. In other countries, a 30-year old is said to be experienced. I don’t think I am over with my career. As long as I can keep my fitness, I still dream of playing for Bangladesh,” said Sharif, who played the last of his 10 Tests in 2007.”Two years ago I was the third highest wicket-taker and had also scored some runs. I was called up and told that I will be playing for Bangladesh A, but I was dropped in the last minute. I wasn’t told the reason. I want this culture to go away from our cricket. Guys like Misbah-ul-Haq and Ashish Nehra are still playing so why can’t Bangladeshi players of the same age?”Since his last international outing, Sharif has taken 210 first-class wickets and hasn’t finished a single season without at least 15 wickets. “I don’t think I was at fault (for being dropped early in his international career). I was sent quite late to Australia after my first injury,” he said. “I would have returned to cricket three or fourth months earlier if I was sent there on time.”I couldn’t play in the 2003 World Cup. I became an example because Mashrafe was sent to Australia soon after his injury that year. I will keep performing, and my wish is to continue playing. The rest is up to the selectors. I can’t forcefully make it up there but performance speaks itself.”Sharif, who made his Test debut during Bangladesh’s first-ever Test tour, in Zimbabwe has 14 wickets in 10 Tests, and nine wickets in 10 ODIs.
Australia stand-in coach Justin Langer has said that the experience of World Cup-winning players like Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell will help the team as they approach pressure games
Australia will look to the experience of World Cup winners Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell to help them qualify for the tri-series final in their must-win match against West Indies on Tuesday. Both men were named in the XI for Sunday’s match against South Africa in Barbados, which was washed out with only an over bowled; both are expected to retain their places against West Indies.Maxwell failed to reach double figures in the first two matches of this series and was subsequently dropped, and was not immediately recalled even when David Warner was ruled out of the campaign with a broken finger. Starc’s workload has been managed as he plays his first series back following ankle surgery, and Australia have lost only the matches in which he was rested.”We had Maxi back in, Mitchell Starc coming back in, a bit of World Cup experience,” stand-in coach Justin Langer said after the washout against South Africa. “They’re all pressure games. Certainly, in this instance, over these last two [matches] there’s real pressure. It’s game on.”We haven’t done ourselves any favours in the sense of we haven’t got ourselves automatically into the final like we would have liked. It’s good to see guys under pressure, and this is a little bit more pressure than a normal one-day international on Tuesday.”Stretching back to February’s tour of New Zealand, Maxwell has scores of 0, 6, 0, 0 and 3 from his five most recent ODI innings. Debutant Travis Head was initially given the first chance in the middle order after Warner’s injury, but Maxwell’s experience makes him an appealing option at the business end of the tournament.”When you lose someone like David Warner you lose a bit of that experience,” Langer said. “Maxi has played a bit of cricket now, but also his dynamic fielding. We’ve talked a bit about our fielding over this tournament. To bring Maxi back into this side, his fielding adds a lot.”We’ve talked a bit about not being able to finish off our innings as well as we would have liked to. We thought with the way he goes about his business that would add something to that, and obviously his offspin bowling. It’s nice to have that up our sleeve.”Australia also need to decide on the make-up of their attack for Tuesday’s game against West Indies after leaving legspinner Adam Zampa out of Sunday’s match. Zampa is Australia’s leading wicket-taker in the series but struggled to contain the West Indians in his most recent match in St Kitts, where he took 2 for 60 from seven overs.”We’ve got to consider a couple of things now,” Langer said. “Adam Zampa will definitely come into it. He probably would have played [on Sunday] had it not have rained. That was more strategic with the wet outfield. But then you’ve also got to consider how we go against West Indies and whether we bring Nathan Coulter-Nile back in, because he’s played a couple of games.”I think he [Zampa] has been pretty good. He probably just got his lines a bit wrong the other night, and some of those big West Indians if you get it in their wheel-arc, as we saw they’re going to belt you out of the ground. He’s learning, and he was the first to admit after the game that he perhaps just didn’t get his strategy right. The reason he didn’t play [against South Africa] is purely and simply because of the rain, and we thought with the wet ball he might not be able to hold it as well.”
Manchester United are a club that often finds itself drawn into long-running transfer sagas, given their huge profile, a penchant to spend big and an unparalleled desire to go after the most sought-after players in world football.
However, few in history can compete with the summer of 2022, as Erik ten Hag entered a relentless pursuit for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong that would last the whole window.
Having reportedly got close in late June, the Dutchman would eventually stay in Catalonia, and his former Ajax boss was forced to look elsewhere.
The acquisitions of both Christian Eriksen and Casemiro massively bolstered their midfield anyway, but it still felt like they were craving that young maestro to lead them into the future. For all the quality of that pairing, both are 31 years old. They were brought in to ensure that a successful present would make them an attractive proposition for the future.

Having since enjoyed a fine debut campaign at Old Trafford, attention could now be turned to a far more attainable option for this coming summer, in an attempt to finally claim that youthful injection to add to their engine room.
As per Football Insider, that man seems set to be Ryan Gravenberch, as United are noted as having entered the race for another of Ten Hag's former players, alongside rivals Liverpool.
How good is Ryan Gravenberch?
Having starred in his home country, the 20-year-old had more than earned his big move elsewhere. When Bayern Munich came calling, it seemed like a match made in heaven as the switch was made with ease.
However, it has since been an arduous first year in Germany for the £26m-rated youngster, who has seen chances limited under both Julian Naglesmann and now Thomas Tuchel.
Just two Bundesliga starts is disingenuous towards what was a standout season the year prior, as he left Amsterdam with a lasting memory of his excellence.
Maintaining a 7.17 average rating, it was astounding how comfortable this teenage sensation was on the ball despite standing at 6 foot 3.
His imperious displays were underpinned by 1.1 key passes and 1.6 tackles per game, showcasing his penchant for reclaiming possession and then sending his team on the attack. Coincidentally, this is how the aforementioned De Jong plays, almost as a quarterback but possessing the ability to carry the ball into the final third too.
Indeed, although De Jong is far more concentrated on carrying the ball himself, given how he ranks in the top 2% for progressive carries per 90 when compared to other midfielders across Europe, he has made 1.3 key passes and 1.3 tackles per game this term, a similar output to that of his Dutch colleague.
Also, given the 26-year-old is six years Gravenberch's senior, there is reason to believe that should the £156k-per-week monster link up with Ten Hag once again, he can soon reach the levels of Barcelona's midfield magician ahead of schedule.
Despite Bayern's sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić branding his titan as "an outstanding player", it is clear that they view him as one for the distant future. A move to Manchester could see his potential realised much faster, under the tutelage of someone who arguably knows him better than anyone.
