Chelsea will make a final decision about their manager in the next few days. The Blues are the only top club in Europe that has yet not decided who will manage the team in the 2018/19 campaign and according to Il Corriere dello Sport Roman Abramovic has only two options left.

According to the Rome-based paper Chelsea’s next boss will be Italian. Talks with Maurizio Sarri are still ongoing but Napoli keep blocking the manager’s exit.

Sarri was sacked by Napoli last month but he is still under contract with the partenopei until 2020. Earlier last week Aurelio De Laurentiis did not give Chelsea any hope claiming that Sarri is an ‘employee’ of the club suggesting that he is not going to make Sarri’s move to England any easy.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport Chelsea will confirm Antonio Conte in charge of the club if they fail to seal the transfer of Sarri.

In the meantime Manchester United are still monitoring Juve star Alex Sandro. The Brazilian full-back is a long time target of José Mourinho but the Red Devils have yet to make an official bid to sign the former Porto star.
