Sarri targets Juventus quartet as opening Chelsea transfer business

Chelsea are ready to press on with a swap move for Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea are planning to overhaul their squad with Maurizio Sarri taking over from sacked Antonio Conte in the Stamford Bridge hot seat.

Juve are open to selling Argentine striker Higuain for £100million, to fund the £105m signing of Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The west London side are also happy to allow Alvaro Morata, who they value at £53m, to rejoin the Turin giants after the Spaniard only managed 15 goals in his debut season.

Chelsea could also splash out on Daniele Rugani and Alex Sandro to help Juve's cash problems, with Claudio Marchisio also on Sarri's wishlist.
