It’s an open secret that Christopher Vivell will soon be joining Chelsea. But the deal isn’t perfect yet. Vivell’s ex-club RB Leipzig wants a transfer fee for the 35-year-old.
That reports sky, but without naming a specific amount. Despite the lack of agreement on the fee, everyone involved agreed that the deal would soon be sealed. The fact that Vivell’s installation as the new technical director at the Blues will be announced in the coming days is loud sky unlikely.
The 35-year-old was released in October after two years at RB due to “different opinions”. He had previously worked for RB Salzburg and TSG Hoffenheim. At Chelsea, Vivell is to succeed sports director Marina Granovskaia and will be responsible for handling transfers and squad planning in the future.
Like Petr Cech, Granovskaia had to leave the club in the summer. Since then, new owner Todd Boehly has been working to reposition the Blues at the sporting leadership level. Coach Thomas Tuchel was also dismissed in September and replaced by Graham Potter.
