Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, revealed that the West London-based club have to spend at least £7 or £8 million to set Maresca free from King Power Stadium.

The Telegraph reported on Tuesday that Chelsea are looking for a progressive and energetic person to take over the job from Mauricio Pochettino. Maresca is considered to match the criteria as he is a possession-oriented type of manager where parking the bus would never be an option.

Maresca is not a stranger for the likes of Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer as he was working under Pep Guardiola as an assistant in Manchester City. Along the way, Todd Boehly and his colleagues are working the best for Chelsea this season.
