Sarri agent in London to finalise Chelsea move

The agent of sacked Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri is in London today.

Sky Sports says Sarri's agent is in London to finalise a move to Chelsea, amid reports in Italy of an imminent move to buy him out of his contract.

With Antonio Conte still in charge at Stamford Bridge, the Blues are not commenting on a number of reports on Tuesday that they are set to pay £4.4m to release Sarri from Napoli.

Sarri left his post as Napoli boss at the end of the season and was replaced by ex-Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, but Sarri is still under contract at the Serie A club.

Reports in Italy on Tuesday also claimed the deal will include a transfer pact with Napoli not to activate release clauses for players Piotr Zielinski, Elseid Hysaj or Raul Albiol.
