Maresca is coming, and it will cost €20m
Enzo Maresca has an agreement with City to terminate his Chelsea contract for around €20 million (team background). He will travel to Manchester to sign a three-year deal, succeeding Pep Guardiola (team background). That fee makes him one of the most expensive managerial appointments in football.
Dias set for the armband
Maresca's first move is a leadership play. He plans to name Ruben Dias as club captain, partly to keep Real Madrid at bay (team background). Real are circling the Portugal defender, and the armband is seen as a way to anchor him at the club.

Sandro Tonali is a target. City are in the mix alongside Arsenal and Tottenham for the Newcastle midfielder (team background). No bid yet, but the name is on the table.
