🗣️ Maresca said:
> “We need leadership and composure at the back — and fast.”

⚠️ But the twist?

> “I’m not interested in leaving a Champions League project to solve another rebuild.” 💥

🔮 What This Means for Chelsea:
Defensive reinforcements now hang in the balance.
Club may need to turn attention to other options like Marc Guéhi, Ousmane Diomande, or even a surprise move for Ronald Araújo.
