Chelsea is not giving up on Matia Vecino, but for newly appointed Chelsea coach Sarri it will not be easy to bring the Uruguayan to London according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Rome-based broadsheet reports that “Inter considers Vecino as a key player and Spalletti, who has done a great job on transforming him into a midfielder capable of combining the two phases of attack and defence does not want to give up on him.”

Should Spalletti be forced to say goodbye to the player, he expects him to be replaced by a player with at least the same value or even a so called top-player.

After the post World Cup vacation, Vecino returned to work with the group yesterday. Should he leave Inter, Inter Sporting Director Piero Ausilio will not be unprepared as the paper reports that: “Kovacic is the dream transfer, as Paredes the ideal playmaker for Spalletti, but neither of them have the characteristics of Vecino which would mean a change in the way of playing.”
