Chelsea reportedly want Derby County manager Frank Lampard.
It has been reported that Italian giants Juventus want to appoint Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri as their new head coach.
The report has claimed that Sarri wants to leave the Blues, and that the Bianconeri will make him their new boss imminently.
According to The Express, Chelsea have targeted Derby boss Lampard as Sarri’s potential replacement, and that the Championship club will want £4 million as compensation.
Big step for Frank Lampard
Lampard is a Chelsea legend and knows the London club inside out, but it will be a big step for him to take charge of the Blues after just one season of first-team management – and that too in the second tier of English football.
True, the former England international midfielder guided Derby to the Championship playoff final this season, but the job at Chelsea will be much more difficult, especially with the transfer ban.
However, if Chelsea do come calling, then it will be tough for Lampard to turn down them.
