Maresca: Offloading players is Chelsea’s transfer window top priority

Since American owner Todd Boehly took charge two years ago, Chelsea have been non-stop active in the transfer market. This season alone, the West London club has spent over 160 million pounds on 11 new signings, including winger Pedro Neto, forward João Félix, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.While Chelsea managed to offload Conor Gallagher to Atlético Madrid and defender Ian Maatsen to Aston Villa, they still have over 40 senior players on their roster, putting them at risk of breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.”The main objective right now is to address our financial situation by selling players,” Enzo Maresca (44) told the club’s official website.”From that point, we’ll see how far we can go and what we can achieve.”Enzo Maresca spoke about the players currently not training with the Chelsea squad. pic.twitter.com/MFjVGyBl5j— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) August 29, 2024 Chelsea’s difficulties in moving players out have been well-documented, with high-profile English internationals such as Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling among approximately 15 well-paid players who have been sidelined by the manager and are not currently training with the first team.”Our focus at the moment is on improving the players we have,” Maresca continued. “No one from the club has asked me to aim for the Premier League title or a Champions League spot.””My main goal is to develop a team that plays with a clear vision both on and off the ball – showing aggression and determination. The most important thing is that we see progress in every game.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8298270##
