The Blues are searching for a manager to succeed Guus Hiddink’s interim spell and according to Calcio Mercato, their priority pick is Juventus gaffer Massimo Allegri.
The Italian guided the Old Lady to the Serie A title and a Champions League final last season and following a slow start to the current campaign has lead them back to second in the league table.
The Italian publication claim that a pre-agreement regarding the 48-year-old’s Chelsea contract has already been reached, despite his Juventus terms still having 18 months left to run. The Chelsea deal will be a four-year contract with a €4.5million salary.

Meanwhile, Mirror Football report that Manchester United will return for highly-rated Benfica winger Renato Sanches during the summer.
The 18-year-old has registered just 13 league outings for the Primeira Liga outfit, scoring twice, but is already being compared to Brazilian great Ronaldinho and along with the Red Devils, has been mooted as an Arsenal target in recent weeks.
The Carrington outfit failed in a late €40million swoop for the Portugal U19 during the January transfer window but Mirror Football claim they’ll try again at the end of the season.
It is also alleged that appointing Jose Mourinho in the summer could bring United considerably closer to signing Sanches, whose contract includes a £60million release clause, with both represented by renowned super-agent Jorge Mendes.
