Enzo Maresca has firmly dismissed any suggestion that he wants increased involvement in his club’s transfer strategy, making it clear that he is completely satisfied with the squad at his disposal, Softfootball reports.
The Italian manager was unequivocal when asked whether he would like a greater say in recruitment decisions, shutting down the idea without hesitation.

Enzo Maresca when asked if he wants to be more involved on transfers strategy: “No, no, absolutely not. No, no, no. I’m happy with the squad”. “The reason why I signed with this club, if you remember I have said many times, is because I think the squad is very good”.
Maresca said, underlining his confidence in the players he currently works with and reflecting a philosophy centred on coaching, development, and extracting the best from the existing group rather than pushing for constant changes. This stance echoes his earlier dismissal of speculation linking him to the Manchester City job, where he reaffirmed his commitment to his current role.
Maresca went on to explain that the quality of the squad was a decisive factor in his decision to sign with the club in the first place. “The reason why I signed with this club, if you remember I have said many times, is because I think the squad is very good,” he stated. For the former midfielder, trust in the club’s recruitment and belief in the team’s potential are central to his approach.
Fabrizio Romano echoed these comments on his official X handle, noting that Maresca has no intention of altering the balance between coaching staff and the recruitment department. His remarks come amid growing external interest and long-term managerial discussions elsewhere.
Those discussions form part of Manchester City’s future planning, including consideration of Enzo Maresca as a potential successor to Guardiola, but his latest comments send a clear message that his focus remains firmly on the present project rather than transfer control or outside speculation.
