Report: Sarri wants to replace Conte at Chelsea
His relationship with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has also always been a controversial one and the former Empoli boss has yet failed to sign a contract extension with the San Paolo hierarchy. Sarri has a €8 million release clause included in his contract and is one of the most appreciated managers in Europe at the moment.
The Italian tactician dropped a big Premier League transfer hint after his sides’ 3-0 away defeat at Fiorentina last Sunday: “I must say, seeing the Premier League have this constant alternation of winners every year, it grows the love for teams and makes everyone have hope of success. It’s a different situation here in Italy. The risk is that we’ll lose many fans, because they cheer on teams that will never win and they know that too well”, Sarri said.
​According to the English tabloid, Sarri wants to leave Napoli and move to Chelsea in the summer, his release clause can be activated until the end of May.
