Chelsea complete move for Manchester City treble winner as ‘dream’ transfer outlined, deal has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. How did Pep Guardiola let him leave.

Following another intense Premier League season, footballers are either representing their countries in international duty or enjoying a well-deserved break during the off-season.

In the upcoming weeks, several Manchester City players will compete for their national teams as they wrap up preparations for Euro 2024, which will be held in Germany starting on July 15.

Despite the absence of the playing staff, Manchester City will remain active, preparing for the new season by identifying transfer targets and assessing the squad for long-term planning.

Former Manchester City player Enzo Maresca has completed a move to Chelsea. Just a year after leaving City, Maresca, who was previously an assistant manager at City, has taken over as Chelsea’s new head coach. Last season, Maresca managed Leicester City, guiding them to win the Championship and secure an immediate return to the Premier League. He has now signed a five-year contract with Chelsea, with an option for an additional year.

According to MENSport, Chelsea was attracted to Maresca’s possession-based playing style, similar to that of Pep Guardiola. This appointment is considered one of the more surprising moves of the summer. There is some debate over whether Maresca should have gained more experience at Leicester before taking on such a significant role at Chelsea, given the club’s history of frequent managerial changes.

Maresca previously utilized his connections at City to secure defender Callum Doyle on loan at Leicester. However, now at Chelsea, City may be less inclined to assist him.

Deniz Undav, a striker for Brighton & Hove Albion, has expressed his aspiration to play for Manchester City before retiring. The 27-year-old, who struggled to secure a regular spot in the Premier League, spent the season on loan at Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. He had a remarkable season with 30 league appearances, 18 goals, and 10 assists.

Undav recently spoke about his ambition to join City, stating that he works hard every day to achieve this goal. He noted that many players dream of playing for major clubs like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester City.

MENSport reports that despite his impressive goal-scoring record in the Bundesliga, Undav faced challenges during his sole Premier League season. To catch Pep Guardiola’s eye in the coming years, Undav needs to return to Brighton and consistently score goals. However, at 27, he is at a critical juncture in his career, and the 2024-2025 season will be crucial for achieving his “dream” move to a top club.
