Enzo Maresca clears air on Chelsea star's future amid summer exit rumors
Despite being contracted with Chelsea until 2030, Noni Madueke has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Since his arrival two and a half years ago, Madueke has established himself as a key player in the team and popped up with some big moments.
More importantly, he is coming off the back of his best season so far with 11 goals and five assists across all competitions.
However, despite his impressive performances, the Englishman has been linked with a move away from West London.
Reports suggest that the Blues will accept any suitable offers for him in this summer's transfer window if clubs decide to bid for him.
Maresca has now come out and clarified his stance on Madueke’s future at the club and insisted that he is a part of the club’s plans for next season.
