Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has eyed up a reunion with Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly at Juventus, according to a report.
Sarri is in line to be appointed as Juve's new head coach later this week after reputedly holding talks with the Italian champions.
Tuttosport claims that the 60-year-old already has possible targets in mind ahead of his return to Serie A, with Koulibaly - whom he worked with at Stadio San Paolo prior to taking over at Chelsea last year - top of his list.
Juve are said to be hopeful that Sarri's arrival will boost their chances of signing the Senegalese centre-back, although they acknowledge that a lot of work still has to be done to persuade Napoli to cash in.
Koulibaly has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League with Manchester United in the past, while Real Madrid are also believed to have made an approach in recent weeks.
