Napoli lawyer Grassani: Chelsea want Sarri on their bench

Napoli lawyer Mattia Grassani has confirmed sacked coach Maurizio Sarri is set to move to Chelsea.

It is reported a deal will soon be done to hand Chelsea both Sarri and midfielder Jorginho for a total of €65m.

“There is a lot happening at the moment," Grassani told Radio CRC.

“There was a meeting in Rome at the offices of (President Aurelio) De Laurentiis, without Sarri. We exchanged views with the English club and the Coach's lawyers: this matter is 10 times more complicated compared to when he arrived.

“The issue is there are so many clauses that De Laurentiis is looking after personally. He wants to leave nothing to chance for the rest of the years that Sarri will be on the Chelsea bench, assuming that should happen."
