Chelsea fans will watch a £132 million target make a bold move after personal terms have been agreed upon.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, predicts that Real Madrid will sign Jude Bellingham before Chelsea.
Pochettino will be Chelsea's fourth manager in a year after Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, and Frank Lampard were all fired by new co-owner Todd Boehly.
While the final touches are being applied to the Pochettino contract, Lampard is anticipated to finish the season with Chelsea. However, it appears that the Argentine manager already has players that he wants to bring to the club.
Pochettino reportedly wants to bring in another number six, particularly with Ngolo Kante rumored to depart the team in the summer, according to recent sources.
The Frenchman's contract at Stamford Bridge is up, and despite his desire to remain with the team, it is thought that the new Chelsea board does not want to pay his enormous earnings and would permit his departure.
Bellingham, though, appears to be on his way to Madrid given that Spain has begun negotiations with Borussia Dortmund about a potential transfer at the end of the current season.
Romano now asserts that Bellingham and Madrid have reached a personal agreement, leaving only a price.
Romano stated on Twitter that Real Madrid was ready to meet with BVB to discuss the cost for the Jude Bellingham transaction, which would include add-ons.
"Real Madrid wants to appreciate BVB's participation in the title race. New meeting in May. Real and Bellingham's camp reached a personal agreement this week.
We are hoping that this choice is the right one because Bellingham is a unique talent with a bright future in the game. However, it is certain that teams like CHELSEA will be sad not to be able to recruit the youngster this summer.
