Paper talk: Sarri gives Chelsea transfer hope, Man Utd €400m bid

Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri is one of Chelsea’s potential candidates to replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea next season. The Italian manager is one of the most appreciated coaches in Europe and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich reportedly wants to take him to the Stamford Bridge.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere dello Sport, Sarri’s Napoli future is in serious doubt.

The Italian manager, in fact, does not only want  a pay rise to remain at the San Paolo, but has also demanded Aurelio De Laurentiis to sign some top players to become real scudetto challengers next season.

Calciomercato.com exclusively reported Sarri has put Napoli contract talks on hold last month.

The Napoli tactician has a € 8 million release clause included in his contract and according to Il Corriere dello Sport Chelsea may be required to offer him a salary in the region of € 5 million-a-year, whilst Napoli’s maximum offer would be around € 4 million.

The Blues, however, have yet to rescind Antonio Conte’s contract as the agreement between the Premier League giant and their coach expires in 2019.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are thinking of signing Neymar next summer, Tuttosport claims.

José Mourinho is planning a revolution at the Old Trafford and according to the Turin-based paper the Psg ace is on top of the Special One’s summer shopping list.

​According to Tuttosport, Manchester United could double Neymar’s transfer fee of last summer offering Psg almost € 400 million to sign the Brazilian star. Neymar, however, would prefer a move to Real Madrid where his compatriot Vinicius Junior will arrive next summer.

“I dream of playing at the Bernabeu alongside Neymar”, the Brazilian starlet has recently claimed. Manchester United will try to break Vinicius’ dream making a huge bid for Neymar in the summer.
