Chelsea Transfer News: Miralem Pjanic, Raul Albiol Double Raid Rumoured

Chelsea are reportedly planning to sign Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic and Napoli centre-back Raul Albiol from Italy's top flight this season as "manager-in-waiting" Maurizio Sarri maps out his transfer intentions.

Former Napoli chief Sarri—who is still under contract with the club but expected to succeed Antonio Conte—is said to be eyeing the Serie A duo as some of his first additions in west London, per the Mirror's Darren Lewis.

This isn't the first time that the Blues have been linked with a move for Pjanic, the winner of back-to-back Scudetti titles under Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri since moving to the Old Lady in 2016.
