Chelsea are targeting Juventus coach Massimilano Allegri for next season.
The Sun says Allegri is Chelsea's first choice to succeed interim manager Guus Hiddink.
Chelsea have contacted him to discuss next season, offering up to £6m per season – double his current wages in Turin.
Allegri is under contract with Juventus until June 2017.
Last season, he led Juve to a fourth consecutive Scudetto, the Coppa Italia and above all the Champions League Final.
