Premier
League giants ready to release the Italian coach from his current
contract with big payment to Napoli and will replace Antonio Conte in
the Stamford Bridge dugout
Sarri, 59, still has two years remaining on his current Napoli
contract but is expected to replace Antonio Conte in west London in the
coming days.
The Napoli boss has already been replaced at Stadio San Paolo by Carlo Ancelotti but, according to Italian newspaper Il Mattino, Chelsea will pay Napoli the money to cut Sarri out of his deal.
After pushing Juventus close in the Serie A title race last season, Chelsea sought Sarri as the ideal candidate to replace Conte following a poor second season at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues finished outside of the Champions League places but despite
winning the FA Cup in May, off-field troubles tainted Conte's
reputation inside the club and led Roman Abramovich to try and replace
him.
According to reports, Sarri will sign a three-year contract worth £5m per season after negotiations were finally completed.
He is likely to bring in his former Empoli assistant Giovanni Martusciello and Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola as well as five members of his Napoli backroom staff.
Sarri plans to live at the Chelsea training ground in Cobham, which has a five-bedroom house on the site, so he can fully immerse himself in the club upon his arrival.
At this moment, though, Conte is still in his post at Chelsea and is yet to be dismissed, which has led to uncertainty over transfers.
Sarri has a wishlist of his own which is topped by Napoli and Belgium forward Dries Mertens and his club team-mate Kalidou Koulibaly.
