Maurizio Sarri wants Gonzalo Higuain, Emerson Palmieri at Juventus?

Maurizio Sarri has reportedly told Juventus that he would like to have Gonzalo Higuain and Emerson Palmieri in his squad if he moves to Turin this summer.

Sarri has just helped Chelsea to the Europa League trophy in his first campaign at Stamford Bridge, although it has done little to halt speculation regarding his future.

Several reports have suggested that the 60-year-old is on the brink of becoming the new boss of Juventus after the end of Massimiliano Allegri's five-year spell in charge.

However, the Daily Mail has claimed that Sarri has indicated that he wants each of Higuain and Palmieri at his disposal next season.

Higuain did not feature for Juventus this season - instead spending loan spells at AC Milan and Chelsea respectively - while Palmieri was only a bit-part player under Sarri at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea may be against parting ways with Palmieri due to their potential two-window transfer ban.
