Star's camp confident that he will join Chelsea

Maurizio Sarri is expected to replace Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte took over the charge of Chelsea in the summer of 2016 and won the Premier League title on his debut season. But their title defense haven’t gone according to their plan as they have finished fifth and will miss the Champions League next season.

However the Premier League giants ended the season on a positive note by winning the FA Cup against Manchester United. Despite that Conte is still heavily linked with a move away from the club.

The Italian has been linked with a summer exit for quite some now after a decline in club’s performances this season. The coach’s future has been under scrutiny since before the season began, as he negotiated a pay-rise without extending his contract and complaints over the club’s transfer policy.

Former Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri has been linked to replace Conte in the upcoming season, who has done an excellent job since he took over the charge of the Italian side and helped them to finish 2nd in the league last season.

They see the Italian as their ideal candidate to replace the former Juventus manager and the deal seemed inevitable when Carlo Ancelotti was appointed the new Partenopei coach.

The 59 year old, however, has not been released from his contract as the Blues were unwilling to pay the €8 million the Serie A giants demanded in compensation. His release clause expired on 31st May without being activated.

Maurizio Sarri’s camp are confident he will land the job as Chelsea manager, according to the Independent . Although a lot of work still has to be done to conclude the deal.

Macedonian agent Fali Ramadani is due to speak to the Italian side this weekend, to try and bring things, and finally break what has been a complicated and extreme stand-off, involving a lot of brinkmanship.
