Manchester City are negotiating with Chelsea over compensation linked to Enzo Maresca’s move to become their next head coach. Both clubs are discussing the financial terms required because Maresca leaves Chelsea while still under contract, which means a settlement is needed before any formal appointment can be announced. Reports indicate the talks are ongoing and have progressed beyond initial executive discussions, with the process moving into legal territory as the clubs seek agreement on the amount and basis for compensation. Manchester City and Chelsea are therefore working to reach a mutual understanding ahead of any official confirmation of Maresca’s role at City. The negotiations are described as continuing while the clubs determine the appropriate settlement, suggesting timing for an announcement depends on the outcome of these talks. Neither side’s final position is reported as agreed publicly in the available accounts.
