Chelsea are in talks with Napoli for midfielder Jorginho.
Il Mattino says the player's move to Manchester City has stalled as Napoli field rival interest from Chelsea.
City have offered €55m for Jorginho, plus a further €7-8m in bonuses. However, that was a week ago.
Since then, Chelsea have come in with a bid of €60m for Jorginho and coach Maurizio Sarri.
Sarri's compensation is being valued at €5m and Chelsea hope their imaginative proposal will convince Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis to finally release his sacked coach from his contract.
