There is a lot of speculation when it comes to what will happen at Stamford Bridge after Hiddink says goodbye. Most of the attention is directed to the change in staff rather than the change in lot. Despite being able to choose from several important names, Abramovich is very likely to have made up his mind already or at least to have narrowed things down to two star-quality managers. First there was Pep Guardiola who is still under contract with Bayern Munich but has refused an extension. The Spaniard admitted to seeing himself managing a Premier League team starting as early as June 2016. Recent news point towards a deal with Manchester United rather than with Chelsea. If that turns out to be true, then it`s Diego Simeone who is next on the list. The Argentinian who is under contract with Atletico has made a name for himself and looks ready to take on a bigger club and a bigger challenge. Despite being tied to the Spanish side until 2020, he is the most likely to take over Chelsea.

According to Metro, he might not come alone to Stamford Bridge where some reinforcements will definitely be needed. It`s been said dozens of times and everyone knows that Falcao and Remy will eventually leave thus leaving Diego Costa the only striker to take on the defending lines. If what the news says about Simeone is true, then Chelsea fans can expect to see Gonzalo Higuain and Ezequiel Lavezzi fight for a spot in the Blues attack. The Argentinian trio is desperate to win the Champions League trophy which has always been just a tad out of reach. Joining a club like Chelsea would give them one more chance at the most desired trophy in the football world. Higuain is now 28 and has returned to the same form that got him the number one spot in Real Madrid’s attack a couple of years back. Rumors have it that he will cost Abramovich around £37.5million. The deal with Lavezzi is a bit more complicated as he is 30-years-old. Chelsea only offer one year deals for those who are over that limit meaning that the winger will have to settle for a 12-month agreement. His fighting spirit would be much appreciated on the pitch, especially by someone like Diego Simeone who is known for being one of the most determined players Argentina ever had.
