Higuain tempted by Chelsea move if Sarri takes over

Gonzalo Higuain would reportedly be ‘tempted’ by a move to Chelsea should Maurizio Sarri take over this summer.

Football Italia, as cited on Calcio Mercato, claim that Juventus are ready to sell the player this summer and a move to Stamford Bridge could excite the former Real Madrid striker.

Despite scoring 16 times in Serie A last season, Juventus are ready to cash in on the player and look for a younger striker to lead the line for the Old Lady.

Higuain is known to have a strong relationship with Maurizio Sarri from their time together at Napoli.

Sarri is expected to be named as Antonio Conte’s successor at Stamford Bridge imminently, in what has become one of the most drawn-out sagas of the summer so far.

It is yet to be seen whether or not Chelsea will meet Juventus’ asking price for the player, but they could use the Italian’s interest in Alvaro Morata to help strike a deal.
