“I just discussed with the players I like and the players I don’t,” Maresca said of his plans ahead of the summer 2024 transfer window closing next week. 

“I hope we can find a solution for them because in the end, when you find a solution, everyone will be happy. But if you don’t solve it, it might create more problems.”

“We don’t need to sign players because we just need to sign them first.”

“If we want to sign a player to improve him, we will do so. But if he doesn’t improve, we are happy with what we have.” 

“If we have the opportunity to take the No. 9 position, which would make the team better, we will try.”
