Madueke is set to complete a £53m transfer to London rivals Arsenal after the clubs struck an agreement this week.
Ahead of the Club World Cup final, after the 23-year-old winger was absent from training, Maresca said: “Yeah, Noni is in contact with the new club. I guess that he’s going to leave in the next hours.
“I said in one of the last press conferences, in the end, if players want to leave, it’s difficult for the club and for the manager.
“Noni decided to leave. No one said to Noni: ‘You have to leave’. Noni decided to leave, and if he’s happy, we’re happy.”
