Report: Chelsea's plan to sign Mauro Icardi

31 mag 2018

Chelsea have a plan to bring Mauri Icardi to Stamford Bridge, as former Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri most likely will be the Blues new manager, according to Corriere Dello Sport.

However, with the issues of Conte's termination, as well as Sarri's release clause, it's no surprise that an agreement will be difficult. Chelsea's owner Abramovich may be very rich, but when it comes to the budget, he doesn't waste any money.

On Icardi, however, there's no hurry: the release clause is present and affordable for the English side. Therefore, Chelsea will try to solve their managerial situation with the least expenses as possible, which certainly could slow down a deal for Icardi.

Juventus are also interested in the Argentine, having offered €40m plus Higuain. However, it seems that Inter don't want to sell him, but as we know, they wouldn't be able to stop negotiations if a club pays the release clause, as in Chelsea's case.
