Todd Boehly hands Chelsea Pep Guardiola's blueprint for Thomas Tuchel's £200m rebuild mission

Thomas Tuchel will reportedly have £200 million to spend at his disposal. Todd Boehly will hit the ground running by giving the Chelsea boss the chance fans have been waiting for. Since his arrival in January 2021, Tuchel has only made one signing, Romelu Lukaku. The Chelsea squad was in desperate need of a striker. After months of negotiations with Erling Haaland, Marina Granovskaia and her team opted for another option which hasn't prospered as we would have liked.

It is important for Chelsea to give their manager full autonomy over his squad. After all, it'll be near impossible to execute a vision without the right tools. With the £200 million budget for this summer, Tuchel has more than enough to make signings, just as Pep Guardiola did after his first season with Manchester City.

It feels like it was so long ago, but just five years ago, Pep Guardiola had struggled with the Manchester City squad that he inherited, but fortunately for him, he was given the means to create the relentless army of winners that he has today. I don't want to be the one to say it, but Tuchel could take that path.
