As part of this process, Maresca has been making changes to the team, including rearranging the training schedule for certain players. This has led to some players being made to train away from the rest of the first-team squad.

Maresca was recently asked about the transfer of Lesley Ugochukwu to Burnley, and he responded by saying that he doesn't pay much attention to such news. He usually receives updates about such transfers via text message from the club.

"The situation is quite clear," Maresca said. "The players who are leaving are training and waiting for a solution. But when they leave, it's just the club that contacts me." He also mentioned that he receives news about transfers like Ugochukwu's via text message, as he doesn't pay much attention to such matters.

"I have this kind of news from the club because I don't pay attention to the ones that are training and need to leave," Maresca explained. "I just focus on how we prepare the session and how we can win games."

More changes to the squad are expected in the coming days, with friendlies against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan on the horizon. The team will be missing Levi Colwill, who has suffered a serious ACL injury, and Maresca is looking to bring in new players to strengthen the squad.

Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho are set to join the team as Maresca continues to build his project. The coach is focused on creating a strong and competitive squad that can achieve success in the upcoming season.
