Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has said the
club’s director, Marina Granovskaia, was “working
very hard†to conclude a deal to sign Gonzalo
Higuain on loan.
The Blues are close to signing Higuain from
Juventus on an initial six-month loan deal, with
an option to buy.
Confirmation of the deal has not come in time for
Higuain to be eligible to feature against Arsenal
on Saturday, but Sarri said he has faith in
Granovskaia’s ability to get it over the line after
suggesting he recommended that Chelsea sign
him at the beginning of January.
“I don’t know [how close it is].
“I want to be clear, because I cannot help you. I
spoke with Marina two weeks ago, so Marina
knows my opinion on how to improve the team.
Then I decided to focus on the pitch, on matches
and training.
“I am confident because I know Marina is working
very hard, but I don’t know the market at all. I
want to be focused on the matches. So I don’t
call her every evening, otherwise I spend all my
mental energy on the market. I think it’s better if
I spend all my mental energies on the pitch. So I
can’t help you. I don’t know,†Sarri said during
his Friday press conference.
