Report: Maurizio Sarri plotting to raid former club Chelsea

Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri is reportedly keen on raiding former club Chelsea for Italian pair Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri.

The 60-year-old was confirmed as Massimiliano Allegri's successor at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday, ending his 11-month spell in charge of the Blues.

According to The Times, Sarri wants to add Jorginho and Emerson to his squad as part of a rebuild.

Jorginho was lured to Stamford Bridge from Napoli, another of Sarri's former clubs, last summer in a £52m deal but has struggled to impose himself.

Emerson won over Sarri in the second half of the season, meanwhile, and he also boasts Serie A experience following his time with Roma.

Outgoing business at Chelsea appears unlikely, however, as the club are currently unable to sign any new players for the next year.
