Chelsea’s reported willingness to pay €60m for Napoli midfielder Jorginho could finally send Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge.
According to Tuttosport, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis wants to involve Jorginho in his negotiations with Chelsea counterpart Roman Abramovich.
The Blues’ reluctance to pay Sarri’s €8m release clause before May 31 was followed by the Partenopei refusing to accept a discount for a Coach.
Chelsea’s reported willingness to pay €60m for Napoli midfielder Jorginho could finally send Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge.
According to Tuttosport, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis wants to involve Jorginho in his negotiations with Chelsea counterpart Roman Abramovich.
The Blues’ reluctance to pay Sarri’s €8m release clause before May 31 was followed by the Partenopei refusing to accept a discount for a Coach.
However, the newspaper believes an agreement rests with Jorginho, who had been heavily linked with Manchester City.
It is claimed Chelsea are ready to offer €60m for the Italo-Brazilian – some €10m more than what Manchester City were willing to pay.
In doing that, the Londoners would exceed Sarri’s exit clause – despite it no longer being valid – and let the pair continue working together.
