Antonio Conte was formally dismissed on Friday with a terse statement, although the decision had been communicated to manager and players on Thursday afternoon.

Sarri is due to be signed on a two-year contract with option for a third today, believed to be worth €6m per season.

The negotiations with Napoli were finally concluded in a double deal, as Chelsea get both Sarri and midfielder Jorginho for €57m plus €8m in bonuses.

According to multiple sources, including Sky Sport Italia, the former Napoli boss intends to raid Serie A for reinforcements at Stamford Bridge.

The most obvious targets are at Juventus, as both striker Higuain and centre-back Rugani worked with Sarri before at Napoli and Empoli respectively.

It’s believed Argentina international forward Higuain would be available for €60m, while defender Rugani has a price-tag of €40m.

As for Alisson, Roma have so far resisted all offers for the Brazilian goalkeeper, including interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool.

Sky Sport Italia claim the Giallorossi would only be prepared to let Alisson go for a fee of €70m.
