According to Sky Sports, Chelsea are willing to let manager Maurizio Sarri leave the club next week and become Juventus manager.
Sarri has told Chelsea he wants to return to Italy after one season in England and the club have said they will not stand in his way.
Sarri has one year left on his contract but never felt comfortable living and working in England and was frustrated he did not have a close relationship with the decision-makers at Chelsea.
Chelsea had no plans to sack Sarri this summer but they do not want to keep someone who is unhappy.
