Marina Granovskaia’s Chelsea future hangs in the balance amid the ownership change currently underway at Stamford Bridge with Roman Abramovich looking to hand over control.
Granovskaia has been key to Chelsea’s business in the transfer market in recent years and she has been credited with bringing quality talent to the Chelsea fold since assuming charge in 2014.
Romelu Lukaku, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are just some of the star names that have made the move to west London with Granovskaia’s work behind the scenes in making the deals happen earning plaudits.
The ongoing crisis at the Bridge, however, with the long-serving owner Abramovich putting up Chelsea for sale in the aftermath of the Russia-Ukraine conflict which resulted in the UK government imposing sanctions on the club has caused uncertainty over Granovskaia’s future.
Abramovich’s former assistant Granovskaia could be in line to follow the former out of the English capital when Abramovich bids farewell to the Blues, according to a report from The Athletic.
“There are rumours within the industry that Marina might stay, but I can’t see that.
“I’m not sure how she can. If you were buying Chelsea right now, I don’t think you could manufacture it in a way where she stayed. But she may not want to stay anyway. You would think she would want to go when a sale goes through, so there is a clean break.”
