As per The Athletic, Chelsea are also targeting the acquisition of RB Leipzig’s chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff to take up the role of technical director at Stamford Bridge.

Fabio Cannavaro is closing in on a return to football management. Having managed Guangzhou on two separate occasions and the Chinese national team, he has been without a job for more than two years.

However, that is set to change according to Fabrizio Romano. Talks between him and Benevento are ‘progressing well’ and a deal is set to be agreed.
