Reports from multiple outlets say Manchester City has agreed to pay Chelsea €20 million to buy out Enzo Maresca from the final portion of his contract. The reports cite Sky Sport Italia as the originating source, describing a deal in which the termination fee enables Maresca to take up a new role at City. The coverage links the move to City’s managerial transition after Pep Guardiola steps down from the club. According to the reports, Maresca is expected to travel to Manchester to complete personal terms and sign a new deal. One outlet adds that the contract being discussed is for three years. The articles also frame the appointment as Maresca replacing Guardiola at the Etihad following Guardiola’s departure at the end of the previous season. While the reports align on the reported fee, the contractual buyout, and Maresca’s expected arrival and signing, they do not provide additional official confirmation from either club within the text provided. The deal is described as already reached between the two Premier League clubs, subject to Maresca completing the next contractual steps.
