Maurizio Sarri reportedly wants to sign Gonzalo Higuain, Dries Mertens, Daniele Rugani and Kostas Manolas once his expected appointment at Chelsea is confirmed.
After a long and protracted saga, a deal is finally said to have been struck yesterday that will allow the ex-Napoli Coach to be relieved from his contract at the San Paolo and complete his move to Stamford Bridge.
And Tuttosport does not believe Sarri will be the only man swapping Serie A for the Blues this summer.
Maurizio Sarri reportedly wants to sign Gonzalo Higuain, Dries Mertens, Daniele Rugani and Kostas Manolas once his expected appointment at Chelsea is confirmed.
After a long and protracted saga, a deal is finally said to have been struck yesterday that will allow the ex-Napoli Coach to be relieved from his contract at the San Paolo and complete his move to Stamford Bridge.
And Tuttosport does not believe Sarri will be the only man swapping Serie A for the Blues this summer.
According to the Italian daily, top of the 59-year-old’s list of targets will be Higuain. The Argentine forward worked under Sarri for one season before Napoli sold him to Juventus, but the Old Lady could be persuaded to allow him to leave if Chelsea offer them €60m plus Alvaro Morata.
Should that deal fail to come to pass, Sarri would turn his attentions to Belgian Mertens, who became a prolific goalscorer under the former Empoli boss’ leadership.
Juve’s Rugani and Roma’s Manolas are said to be Sarri’s preferred options as he goes about rebuilding the Chelsea backline, with Danny Drinkwater and David Luiz tipped to exit the club.
