The Blues want the former Liverpool star regardless of their managerial situation
Chelsea want Barcelona attacker Philippe Coutinho to replace Eden Hazard next season, provided they can get their transfer ban overturned.
The Mirror report the Blues are hoping to make a deal for Coutinho regardless of whether or not Maurizio Sarri remains at the club.
Coutinho is seen as likely to depart Barca after a disappointing first full season at Camp Nou following his move from Liverpool in January 2018.
