"Did everything necessary" – Enzo Maresca on Chelsea's winter transfer policy

Chelsea had a relatively quiet winter transfer window, primarily focusing on offloading players. Enzo Maresca shared his assessment of the club’s approach during this period.

Details: At a press conference, Chelsea's head coach was asked about the club’s activity in the transfer market. He responded that the club did everything necessary.

Quote: "We did everything that was required in terms of the players who left the club. Those who wanted to leave – left. We did everything necessary," Maresca stated.

The manager also emphasized that João Félix’s departure was not an issue. He explained that all players want to play, but not everyone can get significant game time.

Quote: "Nothing happened. Players want to play every match, but unfortunately, they all can’t. He never complained. He was a professional. We need defensive balance—when you have too many attacking players on the field, there’s always a risk of conceding in transition phases, and I don’t like that," Maresca added.

Reminder: The UEFA Conference League playoffs are set to begin soon, and clubs are required to submit their squad lists. Chelsea has already announced its squad for the competition.
