Manchester City are finalizing a compensation deal worth over £10 million with Chelsea to appoint Enzo Maresca, their top choice after Guardiola's decade-long tenure ended last month. The 46-year-old Italian, who assisted Guardiola during the 2022-23 Treble win, left Chelsea mid-season after 18 months, contributing to their drop to 10th place and a European miss. Chelsea claim an illegal approach by City and a contract breach by Maresca, tied until 2030, but are opting for an amicable payout amid fan backlash calling him a 'snake.' An announcement could come this week, with Maresca set to sign until 2029 and already planning transfers.
