The 'Fichajes' website reported that Chelsea Football Club has begun exploring the option of signing Brazilian coach Filipe Luís, in the event that their current coach Enzo Mariska leaves for Manchester City, which is considered the most likely destination for taking over the English team's technical leadership after Pep Guardiola.

The website pointed out that Mariska is seen as the natural successor to Guardiola due to his deep understanding of the playing style that characterized City over the past decade, which includes ball possession, high pressing, tactical flexibility, as well as his ability to develop young talents and maintain a clear identity within the team.

The site confirmed that Chelsea is keen to have an alternative plan to ensure the stability of the sporting project at Stamford Bridge, considering Filipe Luís the most prominent choice after the remarkable start he achieved with Flamengo, transforming the Brazilian team into a dominant force locally and internationally, a performance that has impressed European clubs.

The website added that Chelsea's management views Filipe Luís as a modern and ambitious personality, possessing attractive tactical thinking and the ability to lead young and ambitious players, making him a strategic option to ensure the team's stability and identity. It also noted that negotiations to renew Luís's contract with Flamengo have recently stalled, opening the door for European clubs and presenting an opportunity for Chelsea to secure a ready replacement in case Mariska departs.

The report confirmed that Chelsea seeks to capitalize on this situation to reach a preliminary agreement with the Brazilian coach, ensuring the continuity of the project without any leadership gap in the dressing room.
