Napoli are offering Chelsea the chance to sign either Elseid Hysaj or Jose Callejon but at a heightened price.
Corriere dello Sport claims that Napoli are still standing firm over their valuation of Sarri’s release clause, despite the official clause in his contract expiring.
Chelsea are refusing to pay any more than €4-€5 million for the Italian, but Napoli want closer to €8 million.
Napoli are said to be ready to offer the Premier League side the chance to pay extra on the transfer fees for the likes of Callejon or Hysaj as a way of making up the difference.
Previous reports have suggested that the Italian side are keen for Sarri not to come back and raid his former side for players, but using them in negotiations could be a way of speeding up the deal.
The Blues are hoping to seal a deal prior to the weekend with the first batch of senior players returning for pre-season training imminently.
