The Chelsea boss already made one marquee signing from Serie A; bringing Jorginho with him from Napoli to help bring the ‘Sarri-ball’ philosophy to West London. The reports suggest that the player Sarri is interested in signing for Chelsea is Alessio Romagnoli, the Milan captain given the armband after the departure of Leonardo Bonucci.

Romagnoli is considered to be one of the best young defenders in Europe and has already reportedly been a target of Manchester United in the past. Romagnoli could cost Chelsea upwards of €50 million; especially given that the Rossoneri captain has recently signed a new deal with the club.
