The Foxes are set for a challenging summer as they face the possibility of a points deduction due to financial breaches, according to reports.

Will Chelsea sign Enzo Maresca?

In related news, Kaveh Solhekol reports that Leicester have given Chelsea permission to engage in talks with Enzo Maresca over the head coaching vacancy at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart have traveled to Marbella for face-to-face talks with Maresca, with a meeting possibly on the horizon.

Solhekol explains that Chelsea have carried out a thorough assessment process, considering candidates such as Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank and Roberto De Zerbi.

However, they are leaning towards Maresca because of his alignment with the club’s vision. Despite some discontent among Leicester fans over Maresca’s tenure, Chelsea have prioritized a head coach who can manage the first-team squad and handle media duties.
