"According to Fabrizio Romano, the situation has escalated quickly and is being treated as an immediate issue rather than one linked to short-term results or upcoming fixtures. Importantly, sources close to the club insist this is not about Chelsea's next match, nor is it directly tied to outcomes in the January transfer window. This is understood to be a broader, more fundamental discussion between the hierarchy and the manager which could end up deciding the long term future of the manager."
"Internally, there is believed to be frustration on both sides, Chelsea's board want faster progress and clearer signs of long-term stability, while Maresca is understood to be seeking stronger backing and clarity over recruitment strategy and squad planning. Recent conversations have focused on control over footballing decisions, communication lines with sporting directors, and the pace at which Chelsea's long-term vision should realistically be implemented."
