Will Potter receive the ₦28.5b he is entitled to at Chelsea?
Potter was sacked as Chelsea’s manager on Sunday, but how much will he receive from the Blues?
Enrique, who represented Barcelona and Real Madrid during his playing days, last managed Barcelona at the club level.
The 52-year-old won the treble with the Catalan giants in 2015 before winning the league title again in 2016.
He left Barcelona in 2017 to take over the Spain national team, where he was in charge until the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Julian Nagelsmann still on Chelsea’s radar
But despite Chelsea’s incoming talks with Enrique, the Blues are still monitoring Nagelsmann, who is available after he was sacked at Bayern Munich.
)
However, Nagelsmann may have fallen in the pecking order as the Chelsea board is reportedly concerned about his age.
At 35, it has been reported that Chelsea are unsure of how he will take control of the dressing room that has players like Thiago Silva, who is older than him, or Kalidou Koulibaly who is almost as old.
