With one major arrival already through the door to greet Maresca‚ the focus is now on who he wants to be part of the new era‚ and whose time is up. Here‚ our Manchester City expert JACK GAUGHAN reveals the club's transfer plans for their first season in a decade without Guardiola in the dugout.
Manchester City has officially appointed Enzo Maresca as the club's successor to Pep Guardiola‚ after agreeing a three-year deal with the Italian. Guardiola waved an emotional farewell to the Etihad during Manchester City's open-top bus parade on Monday‚ which was held to celebrate this season's Carabao Cup and FA Cup triumphs and mark an end to the manager's superb decade in charge. Daily Mail Sport exclusively revealed last Monday that the club's sponsors were among those to have been told that Guardiola would be leaving the Etihad at the close of the Premier League season‚ and detailed in the report that Maresca was a leading candidate to succeed him.
Elliot Anderson is set to become the second most expensive transfer in Premier League history at £116m‚ but several historic deals rank higher when adjusted for inflation. Anderson is poised to complete a stunning move to Man City from Nottingham Forest‚ with the England international set to become the first signing of the post-Pep Guardiola era. The 23-year-old will undergo a medical over the coming days before becoming a Man City player.
Gusto is admired by Manchester City‚ and sources close to the 23-year-old Frenchman say he would be interested in linking up again with his former manager‚ Enzo Maresca‚ who is in line to succeed Pep Guardiola.
Presenter Natalie Pike jokingly sent an 'I love you' message to Pep Guardiola as she reflected on working closely with the Man City boss during his time at the club. Guardiola said an emotional farewell to Man City last month having presided over unprecedented success. His final interview on the pitch at the Etihad was conducted by Pike‚ while they spoke again during a parade in the city the following day to celebrate their FA Cup and Carabao Cup success in his final season in charge.
Chelsea and Manchester City are locked in talks over compensation for Enzo Maresca‚ with sources at Stamford Bridge believing his sudden exit was a major factor in their implosion this season. Maresca‚ who is set to take over‚ was contracted to Chelsea until 2029 when he suddenly exited on New Year's Day. It then emerged that the 46-year-old Italian had previously informed his employers how he had spoken to City representatives over the possibility of replacing Guardiola this summer. Sources within Stamford Bridge believe Maresca's mid-season exit contributed to their campaign imploding‚ as they ended up finishing 10th in the Premier League and missed out on European qualification entirely. Chelsea insiders were also less than impressed with Maresca's behaviour in the build-up to his departure‚ such as his 'worst 48 hours' comments made less than three weeks before he and the club officially 'parted ways'.
