According to the report, Chelsea held extensive consultations on Enzo Maresca and Bruco trying to lift a critical area to shore about Jose Mourinho signing the former Fulham star that he personally hopes for in Fenerbahce.
Chelsea are trying to bolster this summer
The West Londoners took a big step towards the Champions League qualifying by beating Premier League champions Liverpool 3-1 over the weekend. As a result, there was some wiggling room between Nottingham Forest in sixth place.

This is great news for Maresca. This is because the location of the Champions League draw next season has been widely reported to have a major impact on the club’s summer transfer plans.
Chelsea will be busy behind the scenes as the special edition transfer window opens from June 1st to June 10th.
According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea wants centre-back, winger and forward as three top priorities. Depending on the player’s sales and European position, Maresca’s side can also chase another central defender, left back, goalkeeper, and versatile offensive player.
There are also suggestions that Chelsea are still considering signing another midfielder. The Roméo Lavia performs well when available, but the Belgian injury issue left Maresca in the area too consistently short.
Chelsea expressed serious interest in Man United starlet Cobby Mineau in January and discussed it with his agents, but England International eventually stayed at Old Trafford.
The importance of the 20-year-old to Reuben Amorim allowed him to be out of reach of Chelsea, and Maresca’s side was believed to be eager to Naples star Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa as a potential alternative.
The 60-cap Cameroon International is a key starter on the Napolitan side chasing the title of Antonio Conte, earning six goals and five assists in all competitions. Anguissa can also add the experience he needs to the team, and Chelsea are already in the move for him.
Chelsea is holding a massive discussion about signing Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa
Through Sport Witness, Chelsea negotiated multiple times about signing Anguissa before the summer, according to Italian newspaper Il Mattino.
The 29-year-old is keen to bring the Premier League back in a personal act of redemption, as he believes he offers far more in Europe’s most prestigious division.
According to a Turkish report, the former Fulham midfielder also has a true admirer in director Mourinho. This claims that the tactician is personally eager to sign him to Fenerbahce (Fanatic).
The Anguissa deal also includes a £38 million release clause, but it is unclear how willing Chelsea will pay a player who is approaching 30.
In any case, he rarely denys Africa’s quality, and his shape this season has changed his head with Cobham. Previously called “machines” by his former teammate Joachim Andersen, Angissa definitely provided real steel in the middle of Maresca.
