The right-back has played under Sarri in Naples and previously at Empoli.

Hysaj was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in the summer before Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis put a block on the club signing anymore players from the San Paolo Stadium.

But it now appears Sarri will land his man in the coming months after the Serie A giants gave the green light for a mega-money deal.

According to Napoli-based journalist Emanuele Cammaroto, the Albanian will become a Chelsea player sooner rather than later.

“Hysaj is on the way out," he wrote in Napoli magazine.

"Ancelotti is ready to let him leave, and Aurelio de Laurentiis didn’t appreciate the take it or leave it offer on the contract, as the renewal terms were too high.

"The goodbye is already on the agenda, the Albanian will go to his mentor Sarri."

Chelsea have been threatened with a potential transfer ban next summer after it is alleged 19 of their teenage signings were investigated by Fifa's Integrity and Compliance Department.

And Cammarato has suggested any looming transfer restrictions may force the Blues to move swiftly in January.

“All that’s left is to know if it’ll happen in June or January," he added.

"The potential summer ban for Chelsea could make the negotiations start suddenly, but Napoli want the €50m from the clause and not a penny less.

"The agent will try around €40m, but in the end they’ll meet in the middle at €45m.”

Hysaj's agent spoke out last month regarding the rumours of his client moving to Stamford Bridge.

“Chelsea in for Hysaj? If you see Napoli are playing Malcuit and looking at other players, clearly it means that there are also enquiries,” he told Radio CRC.

“Those who say otherwise are misinformed. Hysaj is a player who can do well in English football, given he’s very physical and being watched by big clubs.

“Is he worth €50m? He’s worth €60m for me.”
