Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has told Maurizio Sarri that Napoli are asking too much for Kalidou Koulibaly.
Chelsea look set to make former Napoli boss Sarri their next manager.
The Blues look primed to axe Antonio Conte over the next two weeks, despite the Italian steering them to the Premier League and FA Cup during his two seasons in charge.
The Daily Mail says Sarri and Abramovich may not see eye to eye on transfer target Koulibaly.
Chelsea chiefs are reportedly wary of paying his huge £80million asking price.
And that could mean Sarri clashing with Abramovich, whose increasingly frugal stance angered Conte.
