WHAT'S GOING ON AT CHELSEA?
19/06/18
Now, a number of transfer deals are dependent on Chelsea clarifying their managerial situation in the coming days.
Eden Hazard, who has spoken of interest from Real Madrid, says he's awaiting an announcement from the Stamford Bridge hierarchy on the future of Antonio Conte before thinking any further about a move to the European champions.
The possible departures of David Luiz and Willian and the signing of Jean Michael Seri remain in the balance until the identity of Chelsea's manager for next season is known.
Reports across Europe suggest Napoli coach Mauricio Sarri could team up with former Stamford Bridge favourite Gianfranco Zola to succeed Conte.
We're told there's been no contact from Chelsea towards Sarri or Zola and that won't happen until Conte's situation is resolved.
There's also potentially the issue of compensation. Napoli want £7m to release him from his deal, which expires in 2020.
