It’s definitely over – Fabrizio Romano confirms another Chelsea transfer
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is expected to leave the club at the end of the summer transfer season, according to reliable reports.
The 47-year-old Russian-Canadian has been a significant figurehead at Chelsea for nearly a decade, overseeing the club’s whole football business, including player contracts, managerial hires and dismissals, and transactions.
Following Todd Boehly’s takeover, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano declared that the relationship between Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia and the club is ended.
“It’s definitely over between Marina Granovskaia and Chelsea.
“The separation is imminent with an official statement expected very soon – agents and clubs in talks with Chelsea have been informed too,” Romano wrote on Twitter.
“New owner Todd Boehly is taking care of the negotiations, as of now.”
Chelsea have also confirmed that Bruce Buck will step down as Chairman of the club at the end of June, with new owner Todd Boehly expected to take his place.
Buck had been chairman of the club since Abramovich took over in 2003, and will now vacate a position that he has held for about 19 years.
“I am proud to have helped Chelsea realize great success on the pitch and make a positive impact in the community,” Buck said in a statement.
“Now is the right time to step down and let new ownership build on the strong foundations we have in place.
“The owners have a compelling vision for Chelsea’s future, and I look forward to helping them achieve it in this new role alongside our incredible staff, players, coaches and supporters.”
