Chelsea's Malang Sarr 'offered to AC Milan, Napoli'

Chelsea have reportedly offered Serie A giants AC Milan and Napoli the chance to sign defender Malang Sarr in January.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Blues as a free agent in August 2020, has struggled for game time at Stamford Bridge this season, making only four appearances across all competitions.

According to CalcioNapoli24, Chelsea would be willing to let Sarr leave on loan for regular first-team football and the defender's agent has since made contact with both Milan and Napoli to address his availability.

The report adds that Napoli have been keeping tabs on the Frenchman for some time and once viewed him as a potential replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly when the experienced centre-back was heavily linked with an exit.

Milan, meanwhile, have a history with negotiating transfers with Chelsea, as they currently have former Blues trio Fikayo Tomori, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Olivier Giroud among their ranks.

Sarr, who has also been linked with Inter Milan, has just over three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract and is believed to be valued by Chelsea at around €15m (£12.7m).
