Enzo Maresca said Friday that he’s had talks with both Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali since the start of the season amid reports that ownership factions want to buy each other out. “I am speaking with both. There is not any problem at all, and as I said my focus is about the pitch because it’s the only thing I can control,” the Italian manager said ahead of his team’s trip to Bournemouth.The American owners reportedly are at odds over the direction of the club, which has spent about $1.3 billion on more than three dozen players across five transfer windows with little to show for it.
“If I spend my energy about something different, I think it’s not worth it, so my focus is just about tomorrow’s game,” Maresca said. “The other things — they are things that I cannot control.”
