Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted that has remained ambivalent about Juventus being close to getting their hands on former Azzurri coach Maurizio Sarri.

Sarri has informed Chelsea that he wants to return to Italy with Juventus and the Europa League-winning manager is expected to be granted his release from the club at the start of next week.

“That’s all.”

Fali Ramadani, who is representing Sarri, is likely to meet Chelsea executive Marina Granovskaia today in Monaco to sort out the paperwork for the Italian’s release.
