Posted by Potential incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is keeping tabs on the situation of Barcelona midfielder Gavi at Camp Nou ahead of potentially taking over the reins at the west London club, according to Catalonian daily SPORT.
Pochettino is currently the leading candidate to become Chelsea’s next permanent manager this summer after the Blues removed Graham Potter from his role as their manager last month and temporarily put Frank Lampard in charge as caretaker coach.
The former Tottenham Hotspur boss has already started planning for his first season as Chelsea’s boss.
The Argentine has reportedly identified the midfield as an area that needs strengthening this summer.
The former Paris Saint-Germain manager is a huge admirer of Gavi and is confident that the midfielder will settle in well in the Premier League.
Hence, Pochettino wants to sign the Spanish youngster if he becomes Chelsea’s manager, per the report.
There are concerns about Gavi’s future with Barcelona as the Mercantile Court of Barcelona overturned his first-team contract registration earlier this season.
