Elseid Hysaj’s agent has claimed that Chelsea made an offer for the Napoli right-back last year.

Speaking to Tutto Napoli, Mario Giuffredi said: “It’s in the interest of everyone that the player moves in January as his contract expires and Napoli, who a year ago refused €50m (£43m) from Chelsea, would risk losing him for nothing.”

Before adding: “In the summer, he could have gone to Chelsea. Sarri would have liked him.

“He has a €50m clause, maybe Napoli would have even accepted €40-€45m.

“The negotiation has never taken off because De Laurentiis, to free Sarri, has imposed a clause that forbids Chelsea to take other players apart from Jorginho.”
