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.
