Chelsea have agreed compensation terms with manager Antonio Conte and his backroom staff.
The Sun says Chelsea are set to appoint Maurizio Sarri as their new boss after reaching a £9.5million agreement to terminate the contracts of Conte and his backroom staff.
The former Napoli manager is poised to succeed his fellow Italian at Stamford Bridge as he failed to deliver Champions League football after finishing in fifth place last season.
Conte's future at Chelsea has been unclear for a number of months, with Laurent Blanc, Luis Enrique and Zinedine Zidane all being linked to replace him.
Despite the club failing to finish in the top four, Chelsea finished the season on a high after beating Manchester United 1-0 in the FA Cup final.
