Since leaving Chelsea, Enzo Mareska has been regularly in touch with three players from the London club - Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, and Malo Gusto.
Spanish defender Cucurella is the only one who has openly acknowledged communication with the former manager. Mareska informed him of his imminent appointment as head coach, set to replace Pep Guardiola. Cucurella wasted no time in alerting Chelsea's hierarchy about the pressure from Mareska. In contrast, Fernandez and Gusto kept their contacts with the ex-boss under wraps.
Furthermore, Cucurella has informed the club that Fernandez and Gusto do not intend to remain at Chelsea. This revelation has drastically altered the perspective the club's sporting directors, owners, and teammates have on both players.
Since returning from international duty, serious tensions have arisen within the squad concerning Fernandez and Gusto. The future of both players remains uncertain, and the club is ready to weigh up incoming offers. The head coach is reportedly poised to strip Fernandez of his vice-captain status if he stays, with Moises Caicedo in line to take over that role.
