Maresca at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Academy graduate exits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s Conference League qualification means they now need to comply with both the Premier League\u2019s profit and sustainability rules (PSR) and UEFA\u2019s financial sustainability regulations (FSR).<\/p>\n<p>The club are reportedly confident that they do not need to sell anyone before the 30th June accounting deadline, but any homegrown player sales are nonetheless likely to appeal from an economic point of view.<\/p>\n<p>The primary candidate for an exit is Conor Gallagher, with his contract expiring next summer amid interest from Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>Maresca will need to assess if he can live without the 24-year-old\u2019s leadership and ball-winning qualities, after he regained possession an eye-watering 99 times in the middle third during Premier League matches last term.<\/p>\n<p>And the former Leicester City manager will have similar decisions to make on Borussia Dortmund loanee Ian Maatsen, Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja, who would all represent pure profit on the books.<\/p>\n<p>Their departures could result in a significantly increased budget in the transfer market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1353945\"

Chelsea\u2019s recruitment, but they will seek advice from Maresca when it comes to departures and new signings.<\/p>\n<p>The 44-year-old favoured a 4-3-3 system with Leicester City, as his side looked to dominate possession and press high up the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Only Southampton (588.86) completed more passes than their 548.87 per 90 in the Championship last season, while the Foxes ranked first for possession regains in the attacking third with five per 90.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea must ensure that any additions fit into that footballing philosophy, with a new striker and a centre-back high on the Blues\u2019 wish list.<\/p>\n<p>A deal for Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 26, on a free transfer appears close to completion, so their striker search is likely to take priority.<\/p>\n<p>One name who would fit the bill is Sporting CP\u2019s Viktor Gyokeres.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old won possession more times in the attacking third than anyone else in Europe\u2019s elite leagues last season (43), as well as scoring a staggering 29 Primeira Liga goals.<\/p>\n<p>A player of his calibre appears perfect for Maresca\u2019s tactical set-up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
