"I remember we were training and Madrid called me and said: 'We will pay the €180m for Mbappe.' I told Kylian: 'We received an impossible offer to refuse, it is the club of your dreams. Tell me your answer," said Vasilyev.

"We never decided for him. It was up to him to make his decision, and he said, 'I want to go to Paris'," said Vasilyev.

Sarri was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti as Napoli manager in the course of the week and flew into London on Friday to engage in negotiations with the London club over a two-year contract.

According to the Mirror, the 58-year-old is on the verge of being appointed as a replacement for Antonio Conte who is set to leave the club.


According to the Mirror, the 58-year-old is on the verge of being appointed as a replacement for Antonio Conte who is set to leave the club.

Conte has a year left in his initial contract and it is believed that it will cost Chelsea £9m to sack the Italian, who has refused to quit the club despite the speculations over his future.

However, the Blues hierarchy are willing to make a change as Sarri is now the overwhelming favorite to stand in the manager dugout for Chelsea next season.

2018 World Cup: Rohr Warns Girls Not To Visit Super Eagles Players


Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has warned that only wives and children of his players, would be allowed into the team’s camp during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Rohr stated this during a press conference in Uyo on Friday.

According to the German, the measures are aimed at avoiding distraction and instill discipline in camp during the World Cup.

“I will do like other teams, but only families of the players will be allowed to see their husbands. Their children will be allowed also, on Sunday after our first match on Saturday. Families of the players are free to see their husbands, not Russians girls or ‘professional girls’.

“Our disciplinary measures have to be stronger while in the camp. Players are not allowed to see other girls, except their family members after the game. They can even eat with us if they so like. Each player has his room, no problem for family members, they are free to come,” he said.

Rohr is expected to name his final 23-man squad to the tournament, after the friendly match against England on June 2.
