Maurizio Sarri is reportedly close to finally being appointed Chelsea manger, and Inter Milan midfielder Matias Vecino is on a transfer wishlist the Italian has given to Blues owner Roman Abramovich.
According to Calciomercato (via Naveen Ullal of Sport Witness), Sarri failed in attempts to sign Vecino when he was in charge at Napoli but remains an admirer of the Uruguayan's, who Inter value at around €25-30 million (£22-26.5 million).
Calciomercato added the south-west London outfit can speed up the signing of Vecino, 26, as soon as Sarri is confirmed as their new manager.
