Todd Boehly's desire to cap his Chelsea ownership with the addition of a global superstar continues to linger on as plans are made for his second summer at the helm. The first window was marred by the owner's pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo despite the apparent rejection of such a move by Thomas Tuchel.
Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping for more aligned thinking this year as he gets to work with the newlook recruitment department including Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Stewart. As he readies himself for a busy summer of mass sales and key, big-money incomings, the latest links could leave him with a potential reunion.
With Neymar said to be the latest dream for Boehly and Co, it mirrors the insatiable push for Lionel Messi that Roman Abramovich found himself captured by during the mid-2010s. That alone was another marketing and footballing God that Boehly was keen to explore as an option before he chose Inter Miami.
