The Chile boss will only make the move to Stamford Bridge on the promise the club will sign Alexis Sanchez.
Jorge Sampaoli has claimed he would join Chelsea as manager – but only if they sign Alexis Sanchez.
According to reports, he has spoken to Blues owner Roman Abramovich about managing the club and has agreed to take the reigns but only if Sanchez joins too.
Only offers of £50m and upwards would be accepted
It won’t be easy for Chelsea to land him, with Arsenal both unwilling to sell to a rival and only willing to accept offers of £50m and upwards for the Chile international.
However, Abramovich will be desperate to land Sampaoli as manager and will do what it takes to bring him in and if that means trying to land Sanchez from the Gunners, then he will certainly try his best to.
