Elseid Hysaj's agent has revealed that the Napoli right back could reunite with Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea next month at the expense of Davide Zappacosta.
Sarri left the Serie A side to become Blues' manager and took midfielder Jorginho with him to Stamford Bridge.
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis blocked Chelsea from signing Hysaj over the summer, his agent Mario Guiffredi revealed in October.
But the 24-year-old's switch to the Premier League side could now be back on.
‘I can’t rule out resuming negotiations with Chelsea in January,’ Guiffredi told Radio Crc.
