Maresca wants to work with a smaller group
As for Romelu Lukaku, he has already been announced on the side of Naples, he who remains on loan for two seasons, at Inter Milan then at AS Roma. The Neapolitan club should pay 35 million euros for the Belgian striker. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, loaned last season to Real Madrid, would attract the interest of Bournemouth and a loan would be on the right track.
Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell have reportedly been offered to Manchester United. Trevoh Chalobah has reportedly refused to move to Nottingham Forest, who were willing to pay nearly €30 million for his transfer. For Armando Broja, his current injury is likely to scupper his loan move to Ipswich Town.
“I work with 21, 22 or 23 players, not the 42 in the squad,” coach Enzo Maresca recently warned. “No manager in the world can lead a training session with 42 players.” In terms of arrivals, Chelsea hope to complete the signing of a 9 who could improve the team and Victor Osimhen is targeted.
