The stories involving Chelsea in Thursday’s newspapers…
The Daily Telegraph suggest Luis Enrique is back in the frame for the Chelsea manager’s job after Maurizio Sarri held talks over staying at Napoli.
Ex-Barcelona boss Enrique was tipped to replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea before reports the club had cooled their interest in him.
Sarri has since been touted as the favourite to take over at Stamford Bridge but reports in Italy have suggested he could stay in Naples.
The Telegraph therefore say this has boosted Enrique’s hopes of getting the Chelsea job this summer and that “sources believe” either he or Sarri will be taking over from Conte.
Meanwhile, following reports that Chelsea are interested in Mauricio Pochettino, The Sun say he plans to stay at Tottenham next season.
And Robert Lewandowski secretly met with agent Pini Zahavi for dinner and is plotting a move from Bayern Munich, with Chelsea interested, again according to The Sun.
