After a decision was taken to dismiss Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the Argentine national team. The London side were linked with a number of managers before they narrowed down their options one by one, leaving the 44-year-old Italian as their preferred name.
In addition, the Foxes, former Premier League champions, have given the Blues the green light to negotiate with Maresca at their convenience. The famous club from the King Power Stadium have agreed to receive compensation from the Bangkok club as well as the release of the former right-hand man of Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, to move to work with the local team Stamford Bridge.
As the Reds' new manager there is no doubt that Chelsea owner Todd Bollig, an American businessman, will welcome Maresca with his support for the deal, even though he has already lost more than £1 billion since taking over the club. But still couldn't bring the team back to greatness.
With Thomas Tuchel released and opting to use the services of Graeme Potter before Poch even became Maresca Bolih, he will hopefully choose the right person to bring success to football fans until he becomes as famous as Sia Mee, the former owner of the team he led to glory for so long.
As for the market this summer, The Sun newspaper revealed that the Blues want a new goalkeeper and have offered £20 million for James Trafford, the former Manchester City goalkeeper who just moved to Burnley last season.
On the front line, the Blues have long been linked to signing Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian Napoli striker, after he revealed his desire to move to earn a living in the English Premier League.
Not only that, but Chelsea are also interested in Fulham midfielder, Tosin Adarabioyo, even though they have to compete for him with many teams in the league.
In another position, the Blues hope to kidnap Rico Luis, the future left-back from Manchester City, after he succeeded more than expected in including Cole Palmer, the scoring midfielder from the Blues, because Maresca was previously the English defender’s coach when he helped Guardiola.
More importantly, Lewis may consider changing clubs for the chance to play regularly like Palmer, who performed well for Chelsea, even scoring 27 goals in 48 appearances in his first season with the Stamford Bridge residents.
Meanwhile, it has become common for managers to sign their favorite players to new clubs, with Maresca likely to target Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for a move to the Blues next season.
However, Brighton have been willing to sign the Foxes midfielder since January, so it means Chelsea may have a contender. It is likely that you will have to spend at least £ 35 million to fulfill your wish.
The 11 faces of Chelsea's key players in the Enzo Maresca era.
– A goal keeper : James Trafford
– Defender: Reece James, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badischell, Rico Lewis
– Midfielder : Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Kiernan Dewsbury Hall
– striker : Cole Palmer, Victor Osimhen, Christopher Nkong'o
