Chelsea and Enzo Maresca are preparing to let some players go
The project that caused the biggest sensation in the summer transfer market due to the number of players that ended that window of movements was Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, as the Stamford Bridge institution became the only team in the English Premier League to have an overpopulation of footballers in all areas of the pitch.
As a result, the Blues are preparing to let some of their players go in the winter transfer window. The area where they are likely to see the most changes is in midfield, with players such as Cesare Casadei, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka expected to leave, having run out of space due to the level of Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia.
According to Ben Jacobs for GIVEMESPORT, Casaei’s case indicates that Napoli are preparing a €15 million offer, although ‘The Pride of London’ is looking for the team that takes him to leave something close to €25M in their coffers . This same report indicates that Chelsea already rejected an offer from Torino, which was at €12M.
The scenario for Dewsbury-Hall is a little more complicated, as he arrived at the express request of Maresca after a spell at Leicester City, where success accompanied them to return the Foxes to the English top flight. Despite that, he has not received the expected minutes, so a return to the King Power Stadium could be attractive. Clubs such as Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United could also raise their hand.
Chukwuemeka, Chilwell and more…
In addition to these two cases, there are Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, and Axel Disasi. The first of them also generate interest for the Hammers, but in the team at the Olympic Stadium in London, there is also a significant number of midfielders such as Guido Rodríguez, Carlos Soler, Edson Álvarez or Tomas Soucek. In any scenario,
Chilwell, an experienced 28-year-old English full-back, is a player who, despite being very important at one stage, has suffered a lot with injuries in recent times and is not in Enzo Maresca’s plans, so he has total freedom to find a new project; Chelsea are thinking of a loan. Finally, Disasi would look for an opportunity to have greater continuity, although there could be more space in central defense.
