Chelsea manager Maresca tunes out reports of ownership power struggle

Associated Press  

LONDON — Chelsea’s new manager is trying to keep his focus on the field following reports of a power struggle among the Premier League clubs owners. Enzo Maresca said Friday that he’s had talks with both Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali since the start of the season amid reports that ownership factions want to buy each other out. It’s been a hectic two-plus years at Stamford Bridge since a consortium fronted by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought the club from Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, for $3.2 billion. Chelsea added yet another winger — Jadon Sancho from Manchester United — at the transfer deadline on a one-year loan with an obligation to buy the player next year.
