Manchester City and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\"><strong>Chelsea<\/strong><\/a><strong> remain locked in negotiations about Enzo Maresca replacing Pep Guardiola.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guardiola <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cx21y7023qxo\">announced on 22 May<\/a> he would step down as City boss after a trophy laden decade in charge, and Maresca was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cd0pkk1xy23o\">quickly identified<\/a> as the leading contender to be his replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talks are at an advanced stage, with senior figures at both clubs discussing a compensation package for Maresca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 46-year-old won the Club World Cup and Conference League during his time at Stamford Bridge but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/c8exj6w3y41o\">left in January<\/a> and is keen to take the City job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\">Chelsea<\/a> feel they are due compensation under the terms of Maresca&#8217;s departure as he was contracted to the club until 2029 and left just six months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The London club have been exploring their legal options and expect a compensation package to be paid, though it remains unclear both how much that might be, or when it will be resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maresca was an assistant to Guardiola during City&#8217;s Treble-winning 2022-23 campaign and played a key role in the club&#8217;s academy prior to joining the first team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former West Brom and Juventus midfielder left City in 2023 to manage Leicester, whom he guided to promotion to the Premier League in his only season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is holding up the appointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maresca&#8217;s final six months at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\">Chelsea<\/a> were marked by a fractured relationship with the club&#8217;s ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compensation negotiations have been made more complex as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\">Chelsea<\/a> became aware of City&#8217;s potential interest early in October and December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\">Chelsea<\/a> sources also claim they were aware of complaints from Maresca about the transfer policy at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not known whether this played any role in Maresca&#8217;s departure, but the relationship continued to further deteriorate over a number of issues, including medical staff and team selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the tension, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\">Chelsea<\/a> sources say the hierarchy still respected much of Maresca&#8217;s work with the players and he remained popular with the majority of the dressing room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club feel the upheaval played a major role in the club&#8217;s drop in form after his exit, with them not ending up qualifying for Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maresca had been open to renewing his contract early in the season amid interest from Serie A side Juventus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the latest on Anderson?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City last week had an opening bid for midfielder Elliot Anderson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/c042w3w601yo\">rejected<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/nottingham-forest\">Nottingham Forest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 23-year-old England international tops the club&#8217;s list of midfield targets following the departure of captain Bernardo Silva, and sources say they are expected to make another bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City have long admired Anderson, and they will not be swayed from paying a significant fee which could become a record fee for a British player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is known to be a tough negotiator and is understood to want more than the \u00a3105m <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/arsenal\">Arsenal<\/a> paid to sign midfielder Declan Rice from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/west-ham-united\">West Ham<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anderson is currently at the World Cup, but England boss Thomas Tuchel has said squad members will have permission to finalise transfers provided it does not significantly affect the team&#8217;s preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cj0ppgdlll7o\">BBC Sport<\/a> has previously reported Anderson is leaning towards a move to City over rivals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/manchester-united\">Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANCHESTER, England, June 8, 2026 &#8211;
