Today? Chelsea and Napoli find Sarri breakthrough

Sacked Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri is lined to be named Chelsea manager today.

Sarri could be the new Chelsea manager on Wednesday with Napoli selling Jorginho as part of the €65m deal, snubbing Manchester City.

Sky Italia says the key is the inclusion of Jorginho in the move, despite having practically agreed a €55m transfer to Manchester City.

Between Sarri and the midfielder, the total cost of the operation would be €65m.

CalcioNapoli24 reports Jorginho had a big farewell dinner with friends and family in Naples, complete with cake and tears.
