Maurizio Sarri made only a handful of signings during the summer transfer window but each one of them have been influential in Chelsea’s rise this season.
And come the January transfer window, the Blues fans are hoping that their club will bring in a couple of more new players during the January transfer window.
Chelsea are planning to offload a few players at the start of the new year and it is more or less certain that Maurizio Sarri will order the signing of players in order to plug that gap.
Or will he?
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis recently made a statement which is sure to cause a few concerns amongst the Chelsea fans who were hoping to see some fresh talent in the new year.
According to Laurentiis, Maurizio Sarri’s communist views are in direct conflict with the buying and selling of players during the transfer window and hence the Italian is never too much involved in his club’s transfer activities.
“Sarri seemed timid and I discovered he was so dissatisfied with his past [working in finance],” De Laurentiis said during a panel run by Corriere di Mezzogiorno.
“For a Communist to base his profession on the evils of money brought him to suffer from a syndrome of dissatisfaction.
“I found Sarri to be very highly-strung. His wife couldn’t even come to the stadium. ‘I used to say to Sarri, who shall we buy? He’d reply that he didn’t want to know anything about it.
“I chose Sarri against everyone’s advice. At the time, the city was covered in banners protesting my decision,”
In the summer of 2017, Chelsea made a series of bad signings and many believed that the lack of interest from Antonio Conte in the transfer business was the reason behind this.
But now it seems a similar type of problem will arise under the regime of Maurizio Sarri.
