Napoli right-back Elseid Hysaj has reportedly hit an obstacle in negotiations over a new contract and will be allowed to leave the club next summer, when admirers Chelsea could pounce.
Blues manager Maurizio Sarri moved for former Napoli man Jorginho in the summer and may reunite with defender Hysaj after Il Mattino (h/t Calciomercato.com) reported talks over a new deal have stalled. His current contract expires in the summer of 2021.
Italian journalist Emanuele Cammaroto was quoted in NapoliMagazine (h/t CalcioNapoli24, via Sport Witness) as saying both manager Carlo Ancelotti and Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis are ready to let Hysaj, 24, leave the club.
