Another big day for transfer news in Serie A. ​ Juventus, in fact, are close to competing two main transfers. Tomorrow Emre Can will be in Turin to undergo his medical tests with the bianconeri and sign a four-year deal with the club. The former Liverpool midfielder has agreed to sign a € 6 million-a-year deal. Juventus, however, are also close to signing Valencia’s Joao Cancelo as the bianconeri have agreed the player’s price-tag with the La Liga side (exclusive details). Cancelo was a tranfer target of Manchester United just like Clement Lenglet who has agreed to join Barcelona for € 35 million. Napoli are also trying to strengthen their team. The partenopei have paid the release clause of Fabian Ruiz who will arrive at the San Paolo for € 30 million. The Spaniard should replace the ongoing Napoli captain Marek Hamsik. Talking of Napoli, their former boss Maurizio Sarri is expected to complete a move to Chelsea before the week-end. The Italian tactician has an agreement with the Blues who have almost finalized a deal with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Maurizio Sarri is expected to take someone with him to Chelsea from Napoli

His name? Dries Mertens, who smashed in a wondergoal for Belgium on Monday to break the deadlock against Panama in a 3-0 win.

The Napoli star is coming off two prolific seasons at the San Paolo, but wouldn’t be expected to be a striker at Stamford Bridge.

The 29-year-old, whose release clause of €28 million recently expired, is believed to cost around €40m now.

Mertens is wanted by Sarri as a false nine, someone to pair with Eden Hazard behind the striker.

Sarri is set to be replaced by Carlo Ancelotti, who has already joined the Azzurri, and who is a former Chelsea Coach himself.

The Belgian star played in a false nine position before being used as a striker by Sarri two seasons ago, following Gonzalo Higuain’s 90m move to Juventus.
Will the Belgian be another Serie A addition to Cobham?
