Manchester City is reported to be closing a settlement with Chelsea that will cover compensation related to Enzo Maresca’s move to the club. Multiple outlets say the agreement is intended to allow City to appoint Maresca as manager following terms being reached with his former club. Reports indicate the deal involves a fee described as substantial, with some coverage putting the amount at over £10 million, though exact figures vary across sources. The arrangements are also linked to a reported multi-year contract for Maresca with Manchester City, commonly described as a three-year deal. Analysts quoted in the coverage explain that City’s payment is connected to Maresca’s contractual position at Chelsea, rather than being a transfer-style payment for a player. While some outlets frame the fee as unusually high for a manager move, all accounts describe the same overall process: negotiations between City and Chelsea conclude, then Maresca’s appointment proceeds. Manchester City’s impending appointment is presented as the next step once the compensation terms are finalized.
