Chelsea remain in talks to appoint Maurizio Sarri as Antonio Conte’s replacement and the club have also pressed ahead with their summer transfer business, despite the uncertainty surrounding their managerial situation. According to Sport Mediaset, Juventus and Chelsea have now struck a deal for Higuain and the transfer is expected to be made official after Sarri is appointed. The report claims that Chelsea still need to finalise Sarri’s appointment with Napoli’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis but it’s expected that the 59-year-old will end up at Stamford Bridge. Under Sarri’s guidance at Napoli, Higuain smashed Serie A’s scoring record in a single season with 36 goals in the 2015-16 campaign.
training session Sarri was angered by Higuain’s decision to join Juventus after his record-breaking season, but admitted he treated the 30-year-old like his own son. ‘He made a debatable choice, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a good man,’ Sarri said after Higuain’s departure. ‘Despite it all, I still feel about him the way I do a son who has made you angry, but you still care for him. I owe him a great deal.’
Higuain is currently on holiday after Argentina were knocked out of the World Cup by France on Saturday. Sport Mediaset also report that Chelsea remain in talks with Juve for Daniele Rugani, although that deal is being treated separately to the agreement with Higuain.
