Sun Sep 15 01:57:38 UTC 2024: ## Chelsea Manager Focuses on Bournemouth Match Amidst Ownership Drama
**Bournemouth, England** – Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is keeping his focus firmly on the pitch despite reports of a power struggle among the Premier League club’s owners. Maresca confirmed that he has been in communication with both Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, the club’s co-owners, amid rumors of a potential buy-out.
“There is not any problem at all,” Maresca assured reporters, “My focus is about the pitch because it’s the only thing I can control.”
Chelsea’s ownership has been a source of speculation since Boehly and Clearlake Capital purchased the club from Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich in 2022 for $3.2 billion. Reports suggest that disagreements over the club’s direction and its spending spree, which has seen Chelsea spend over $1.3 billion on players across five transfer windows, have created tension between the owners.
Despite the off-field drama, Chelsea faces AFC Bournemouth this Saturday in a Premier League match at Vitality Stadium. The match will be available to stream on Peacock with a subscription.
Maresca emphasized his commitment to his team’s performance: “If I spend my energy about something different, I think it’s not worth it, so my focus is just about tomorrow’s game. The other things — they are things that I cannot control.”
