Latest reports in Italy state that Juventus are resolute in their move for Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri as the Italian giants have made him their first choice.

Sky Sport claim that Sarri met with Juventus officials last week with a view to replacing Allegri, who leaves Turin after five years in which he won five Serie A titles and four Coppa Italia trophies.

Several Italian newspapers report that Sarri’s agent Fali Ramadani will meet Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia after the Europa League Final to discuss his terms of exit.

Sky Sports, however, add that the Blues are not planning on changing their head coach but Sarri is open to a return to Italy.

The report stresses the Old Lady will also wait until after the Champions League Final to see whether Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp possibly step down from their positions at Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool.

Failing that, the alternative ‘remains’, according to Football Italia, Lazio tactician Simone Inzaghi.
