New head coach Enzo Maresca is reportedly in disagreement with Chelsea over a player he really likes as the board have made him available for transfer .
On Monday afternoon, announced the appointment of Maresca after the inexperienced former Manchester City coach guided Leicester City to the Championship title in his first season as a head coach.
Todd Boehly and the rest of Chelsea s board have boldly opted to give a five-year contract. Given how much Stamford Bridge has descended into a circus in recent years, it would be surprising if he lasts a season at the Premier League giants.
Maresca has been appointed after Chelsea needlessly decided to sack Mauricio Pochettino. He departed despite guiding the club to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup final.
Pochettino s replacement will do well to match his predecessor s achievements next season, but it is noted by Caught Offside that he is immediately at odds with Chelsea s hierachy regarding goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea invested around £25m to sign Sanchez from Premier League rivals Brighton last summer and he endured a difficult debut season at Stamford Bridge.
Despite this, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims Maresca has told Chelsea that he really likes Sanchez. He said: Understand Chelsea new coach Maresca told the board that he really likes Robert Sánchez.
Maresca, looking forward to working with Spanish GK next season as he believes Robert is ready for next phase of his career.
Chelsea expect Sánchez to stay at the club this summer.

However, is of the understanding that Sanchez will be available for transfer this summer and he has mentioned several potential replacements.
The goalkeeper position is another area Pochettino had concerns with, but while Aaron Ramsdale or Jordan Pickford would have been in his mind as great options, it is felt Chelsea’s profiling around this might be changing, Jones reported.
