Napoli president delivers surprise update on Maurizio Sarri

De Laurentiis refutes Chelsea talks for Sarri

Napoli president delivers surprise update on Maurizio Sarri

23 June 2018 - 23:51

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has revealed that Chelsea are yet to make an approach to pursue Maurizio Sarri from their clutches this summer.

  • Chelsea to battle Leeds for Zion Suzuki?
  • Aston Villa set staggering price tag for Morgan Rogers
  • Sarri was dismissed from the head coach role at Napoli last month but so far, the club have not released him from his contract with Laurentiis seeking to bag a compensation from the Italian's suitors.

    Speaking to Sky Sport 24, the 69-year-old stressed that the Blues are yet to make any sort of approach for Sarri and he is unsure whether the Italian will land the job with the west London giants, he said: "The call from London has not arrived. I do not know. Time will tell."

    Chelsea are already facing the compulsion of negotiating a £9m package for Antonio Conte's release this month and they may have to pay a similar sum, if they are to sign Sarri from the Naples outfit.
