Manchester City are negotiating a compensation fee with Chelsea for Enzo Maresca.
According to Sky Sports, a deal is in the hands of each club’s respective lawyers, who are involved after Maresca left Chelsea still with three-and-a-half years left on his contract in January.
City are hopeful of an agreement this week, as they look to appoint the Italian as Pep Guardiola’s successor.
Maresca’s proposed three-year deal is not yet fully agreed.
However, a contract is expected to be finalised in the coming days, as discussions centre around the timeline of his appointment, the make-up of his backroom staff, and other finer details.
Chelsea were informed by Maresca last autumn that he had been the subject of interest from City about eventually replacing Guardiola when he decided to leave, having worked under him as assistant coach during the 2022/23 season when City won the treble.
