Chelsea is reportedly close to finalizing the sale of one of their key players, which could be a surprising setback for manager Enzo Maresca.
Maresca’s Tenure at Chelsea
Enzo Maresca, who took the reins at Chelsea in June after a brief stint with Leicester, has primarily concentrated on strengthening the squad with new signings.
Notable Transfers
One of the standout signings has been midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who arrived from Leicester for £30 million.
Funding Transfers Through Sales
Chelsea has financed some of these new signings by selling players, including left-back Ian Maatsen to Aston Villa for £37.5 million. However, reports suggest that Chelsea might be willing to part with Noni Madueke if they can make a profit on the £29 million they spent to acquire him from PSV in January 2023.
Newcastle’s Interest in Madueke
Newcastle United sees Madueke as a significant upgrade over their current options in that position. This move also casts doubt on the future of Miguel Almiron at Newcastle.
Previous Dealings with Newcastle
Newcastle’s major transfer this summer involved Chelsea, as they secured left-back Lewis Hall for £28 million after exercising an option in his loan contract from last season.
