Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has questioned the board's plans to buy an Argentine club.
Argentine president Javier Milei announced before Christmas that he'd spoken with Chelsea's owners about investing in an Argentine club as he relaxed foreign investment laws.
But countryman Pochettino said: "It's so difficult because Argentina is a country where it is not normally like here, where people arrive from outside and buy clubs.
"The fans, they feel they belong to the club and the club belongs to them, and it's not easy to change the mentality. Maybe in time, yes, but at the moment I don't believe it is going to be easy to buy a club there.
"But, of course, the president has new ideas and he wants to help the country and the people to have better lives. It's a difficult situation, but all the Argentines, we are going to support and we are going to do everything to try to help the country, Argentina, to stay in a better situation."
