Juventus are reportedly still keen on Maurizio Sarri but must pay Chelsea €5.7m in compensation for the ex-Napoli Coach.

A leading news agency in Italy claimed on Thursday morning that Juve would appoint Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola.

However, Corriere dello Sport is standing by its line that the Coach is in Abu Dhabi to not only relax but also negotiate a new contract, which would see him earn almost €6m more a season.

Sky Sport Italia’s Alessandro Alciato has also chimed in by tweeting that there is ‘zero possibility’ of the former Barcelona boss moving to Turin.

The Evening Standard, meanwhile, writes Sarri is ‘one of the main contenders’ to replace Max Allegri and that the Bianconeri ‘believe’ he would consider a return to Italy.

As for Chelsea, the newspaper explains they ‘will not stand in the way’ of the 60-year-old – providing they receive the £5m (€5.7m) that covers the remainder of his salary.

That, in turn, would not be a problem for the Old Lady, while satisfying the Blues after they were recently ordered to pay Antonio Conte €10m in compensation.
