Mauricio Pochettino says if you manage a club like Chelsea then results are more important than playing well.
The striker wants to remain in Italy, but it is unclear whether Inter have enough funds to meet Chelsea’s demands.
“He needs to come back July 12-13 to be part of the squad to start pre-season,” Pochettino said.
“With all the players that arrive, the first thing they do is to come to my office and say hello. That’s what I expect if he’s still a Chelsea player.”
