He ll work together with Potter - Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea are on verge of appointing new sporting director
By Debkalpa Banerjee Modified 18 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the Blues' pursuit of a new sporting director. Chelsea are close to finalising an agreement with Red Bull Salzburg for the appointment of Christoph Freund as their new sporting director, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has been on a quest to hire a new sporting director since the end of the summer transfer window. For most of the summer, Boehly acted in an interim role for the Blues after Marina Granovskaia's exit at the end of June. Earlier this month, the Blues parted ways with Thomas Tuchel and appointed former Brighton & Hove Albion boss Graham Potter as their new manager. Potter, who was reportedly the top choice for the job, penned a five-year deal with the Stamford Bridge outfit. Taking to Twitter, Romano said that the Blues are set to agree personal terms with Freund, who will work closely with Potter to decide new arrivals in the winter transfer window. Romano wrote: "Chelsea are now set to reach agreement on personal terms with Christoph Freund as new director. Talks on with Salzburg to get it signed soon. Freund, man behind top deals like (Erling) Haaland, (Sadio) Mane, (Naby) Keita, (Dayot) Upamecano — ideas, data, talents. He'll work together with Potter."
