According to BILD – Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is preparing to leave the club after the summer transfer windor.
Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta is in line to replace Granovskaia – one of Roman Abramovich’s closet advisors – at Stamford Bridge.
The news comes just days after a consortium led by American tycoon Todd Boehly completed its £4.25billion takeover of the Premier League club.
Granovskaia worked on transfers and contracts under Abramovich.
Granovskaia first became his representative at the club in 2010 and then joined the board in 2013 before becoming chief executive the following year.
There were expections the managing director would stay at Stamford Bridge following the Boehly takeover but has opted to step away from the club. Chairman Bruce Buck is set to remain in place.
