Ancelotti signs for Napoli tonight?

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Carlo Ancelotti and Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis called their lawyers in to draw up a contract tonight.

Ancelotti was filmed arriving at the Rome residence of De Laurentiis, a movie producer and patron of the Serie A club, this evening.

This represented a rapid surge forward in negotiations that until now had been on the back-burner.

According to CalcioNapoli24, both Ancelotti and De Laurentiis then called their lawyers and want them in the building tonight so contracts can be drawn up and even signed.

The Maurizio Sarri era would seem to be well and truly over, as Napoli are no longer prepared to wait for him to make up his mind.

Sarri is also of interest to Chelsea and Zenit St Petersburg, but said he might take a year off.

Any contract with Ancelotti would be deposited from June 1, because the deal he has with Bayern Munich expires on May 31.

He was fired in September, but is still being paid until the contract runs out.

Ancelotti is believed to be agreeing a two-year deal with Napoli, that includes an option for a third.
