Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski and Nice midfielder Jean MichaelSeri are reportedly both put off by the prospect of joining Chelsea until the future of manager Antonio Conte has been resolved.
Per Matt Hughes in The Times, Conte is widely expected to be sacked, but there continues to be disagreement over a severance package, and Seri's representatives have put talks on hold with the Blues until it is clear who the manager will be next term.
Hughes added Lewandowski, 29, is also wary of moving to Stamford Bridge while the managerial situation is so unclear, although Bayern are confident he will stay at the Allianz Arena anyway.
