Chelsea want to bring in ex- Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards to kickstart their new era, according to reports.
The Blues are looking replace the outgoing Marina Granovskia, a trusted confidant of now previous owner Roman Abramovich. The Russian-Canadian chief has exited Stamford Bridge following Todd Boehly 's £4.25 million takeover, leaving room for Edwards to fill the gaping void.
The former Anfield head honcho largely operated in the shadows on Merseyside, helping orchestrate the Reds' return to glory under Jurgen Klopp with a slew of savvy business. Now, as reported by Sky Sports, Chelsea want to reap the rewards by employing his proven expertise, with Edwards having been also approached by Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and other numerous companies outside of football since his departure from Merseyside was announced eight months ago.
