Luis Enrique and Belletti linked with shock Chelsea move

Chelsea have been linked with a surprise double move for former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.

The Daily Star reports that the Premier League champions have lined up a move for Enrique to replace Antonio Conte, with former Chelsea defender Juliano Belletti also joining as director of football.

There is a growing belief at Stamford Bridge that Conte will leave the club this summer after two years in London.

Tensions are running high behind the scenes at Chelsea as the Italian clashes with the board regarding transfers.

Enrique has been out of work since he left Barcelona and has been linked with the Blues in the past.

Belletti currently works for Barcelona in an ambassadorial role but is a popular figure at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazilian defender spent three years with the club after joining from the Catalan side.

He was famously known for scoring what was eventually voted as Chelsea’s Goal of the Season in the 2007-08 campaign, a thunderous long-range effort against rivals Tottenham.
