Diego de Luca: “From the latest news we have, Sarri has never been closer to Chelsea, and it does not end here - a player could follow him in the Premier League. I can also confirm the name and surname: Elseid Hysaj”. (Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli) #CFC #Napoli #Sarri

Maybe they want Hysaj to leave so they can replace him with Cancelo 

What will happen to Azpi if Hysaj was to be signed?

Maybe as a cb in a back four ? Or we might be planning to keep the 3-4-3 ?

I honestly know nothing about Jokanovic.. Would he suit our beloved Chelsea in your opinions?

Order of preference:

Sarri
Jokanovic
Conte
Blanc
Enrique

So same thing as about 2 weeks ago then?

“We’ve heard it before, but strong talk linking Sarri being close to Chelsea once again. The Italian wants to terminate his contract at Napoli. 

I’ve always felt Sarri would join Chelsea and albeit many complications, I still believe it will happen.” Simon Phillips

Theres also foreign journalists saying the same thing

Made me think of Benitez 

Looks like Liverpool have managed to strike a deal for Nabil Fekir now. The news is breaking all over.

They are having a hell of a summer. 

Think about it:
2016:
Kante links
Conte links

2018
Seri links
Sarri links

God NO! Hysaj can play as both a LB/RB. Azpi as a CB in a back 4 will be a disaster & a waste of talent.

Antonio Conte is now Real Madrid's prime target to replace Zinedine Zidane as coach. Conte is still in charge at Chelsea, although everything coming out of London suggests that he will not continue next season, so there should be no issues contractually. (MARCA) 

Real Madrid have activated an option to bring Antonio Conte to the Santiago Bernabeu. (MARCA) #CFC #RMCF

Was really hoping we would at least have a manager sorted by the end of this week, maybe conte to madrid will save us some money, so we can bring in sarri, if that has been what's holding everything up. 

It's been a slow start to a short but vital window. 

It's taking the shape of the last couple of summer's.

1st phase is 'don't worry our rivals haven't done anything yet'.

Next phase is 'We will get it all sorted once preseason starts/ Nike deal kicks in/ marina comes back from Bognor Regis.

Last phase is all out panic as there is 2 days left in the window and we still need 3 players to replace players we didnt need to sell in the place!

The window shuts and then it's sink or swim time. 

We seem to have completely missed the opportunity to sign players going to the world cup, no doubt clubs will wait until it finishes to hopefully sell at a higher price. There's a lot of good players not going, so there is still hope that can make the right signings early enough, so they can have a decent preseason.

Alfredo Pedulla: "Sarri is getting closer to #CFC, but he has also entered the list for Real Madrid with Conte, Pochettino & other internal solutions. The possible arrival of Sarri in England could bring Albiol & Hysaj . If I had to give a 3rd name, I say Zielinski” (SportItalia)

Sarri is the first choice and Marina Granovskaia's blitz in Russia is necessary to set up a strategy with Abramovich. Then they will go to the operational stage of the negotiation. #CFC never thought of abandoning Sarri, the only problem was the clause (via @AlfredoPedulla)

The first days of next week are supposed to be the hottest and everything will be done to get an agreement with Sarri. Chelsea will be the main protagonist of the transfer market. #CFC (via @AlfredoPedulla)

Breakthrough in discussions for Sarri between Napoli & Chelsea means Chelsea have pressed ahead for Sarri’s targets in the last few hours. Higuain top of the list.

Please happen, Next season would be a whole lot of fun.

Now were starting to get ourselves into a good position with RM after Antonio. The club will just stick to their guns, RM will have to buy out Conte, we pass the bucks onto Napoli. Or Conte stays. Win/Win.
