On top of this, manager Enzo Maresca is close to being confirmed as the next Chelsea coach, according to goal.com.

Real Madrid winger Rodrygo has commented on his future at the club in an interview with DAZN. When asked about whether he wants to stay with Madrid for the rest of his career, he stated: “Yes. Well… anything can happen. I have a contract here, but I don’t know. […] The years I’ve been here have been a pleasure for me.” This could put Liverpool on alert given their long-standing interest in the player.
