Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is again being linked with AS Roma.

Roma, who recently appointed Claudio Ranieri until the end of the season, are interested in Sarri.

Roma sacked Eusebio Di Francesco recently, with Ranieri stepping in in the Italian capital.

And Calciomercato.com says contact has already been made with Sarri ahead of a potential appointment.

It's believed Chelsea will be reluctant to let Sarri go, but could axe him if they fail to qualify for the Champions League for next season.
