Chelsea will make reportedly make contact with Napoli over a deal to hire Maurizio Sarri on Tuesday.
Reports in Italy from Sport Italia, as cited on the Metro, claim that the Blues will approach the Serie A side in a last-ditch attempt to strike a deal.
The Blues are keen to bring Sarri to Stamford Bridge and would like defender Elseid Hysaj to follow him to the Premier League.
The report claims that the Blues are happy to offer David Luiz to Carlo Ancelotti’s side in an attempt to sweeten the deal.
Hysaj has a £44 million release clause included in his Napoli contract, but Chelsea hope to negotiate that price through the inclusion of Luiz in the opposite direction.
The Brazilian defender fell out of favour at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte and his long-term future appears to be away from London following a second spell with the club.
