Chelsea transfer report: Maurizio Sarri to raid Napoli for three top stars if he is appointed Blues manager

Maurizio Sarri will look to sign Napoli trio Elseid Hysaj, Piotr Zielinski and Raul Albiol – if he gets the Chelsea job.

The Italian is currently out of work after he was replaced at Napoli by the former Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti on Wednesday.

Sarri is expected to quickly return to management, though, with Chelsea ready to hire him.

The Blues are reportedly close to parting company with Antonio Conte and they want Sarri to replace him.

The 59-year-old is excited by the prospect and is already planning for life at Stamford Bridge.

Indeed, according to Sportitalia, Sarri will look to sign Albiol, Hysaj and Zielinski if he takes charge at Chelsea.

The Italian worked with the trio at Napoli and is keen to link up with them again at his next job.
