Sarri wants Koulibaly and Zielinski in £130m summer swoop

Maurizio Sarri has reportedly told Chelsea to beat the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool to Kali­dou Koulibaly and Piotr Zielinski with a £130 million double bid.

TEAMtalk report that the Italian boss has informed those behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge that he wants to bring the two Napoli players to London in the summer.

Sarri believes that both Koulibaly and Zielinski could help Chelsea compete against the very best next season.

Both players have been long-term targets for the club, with Koulibaly often linked with a Premier League move in the past.

Zielinski was linked with Chelsea over the summer, with Sarri a huge admirer of the player.

Liverpool are also keen and are expected to push to sign the player in either January or the summer.

Sarri worked with the Polish playmaker at Empoli and was also keen to bring him to London, but Napoli reportedly blocked any further transfer activity between the two clubs after lengthy negotiations throughout the summer.
