Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, have made their way to Marbella today to hold talks with Enzo Maresca. The Leicester City manager has already engaged in discussions with Blues officials and a £9m fee has been agreed upon this week.
According to The Sun, Maresca left a strong impression on Chelsea with his extensive knowledge of the squad and his unwavering insistence on his playing principles being respected. This has undoubtedly piqued the interest of the Chelsea hierarchy.
Now, Winstanley and Stewart are looking to finalize the terms of a three-year deal with the Italian. If all goes well, there is a glimmer of hope that Chelsea will be able to announce Maresca’s appointment within the next 48 hours.
In summary, Chelsea’s co-sporting directors are currently in Marbella to negotiate with Enzo Maresca, who has already impressed the club with his understanding of their squad and his commitment to his own playing principles. The hope is that a deal can be reached within the next two days, leading to an official announcement from Chelsea.
