Napoli push Man City target Jorginho to Chelsea in Sarri talks

Chelsea are making a late move for Napoli midfielder Jorginho.

Jorginho has been in marathon talks with Manchester City over a move to England.

Sportitalia says Chelsea could sign Jorginho and settle compensation terms with Napoli for coach Maurizio Sarri as a package deal.

Both issues could be resolved together if Chelsea agree to pay at least €60m for Jorginho, beating the Manchester City offer.

In that case, Napoli would be more inclined to release Sarri and the pair could work together at Stamford Bridge.

Another option would be Albania international full-back Elseid Hysaj, who played for Sarri at both Empoli and Napoli.
