Mauricio Pochettino warns Chelsea's owners it will be 'difficult' to win over Argentine fans after the country's president revealed the Blues were 'willing' to invest in a major club

Mauricio Pochettino has warned Todd Boehly and Chelsea's owners against buying a football club in Argentina.

Chelsea launched a multi-club model in June when BlueCo, the club's ownership group, bought a majority stake in French side Strasbourg for £65million.

In January, Argentina's president Javier Milei claimed that Chelsea wanted to add a major Argentine club to their model - and backed the idea.

However, Pochettino has cautioned against doing so because fans in the country are not used to such outside investments.

'It’s so difficult because Argentina is a country where it is not normally like here, where people arrive from outside and buy clubs,' said Chelsea's Argentine boss.
