Blues boss Maurizio Sarri’s position at Stamford Bridge is under threat, and the club are known to be long-term admirers of Simeone. The Argentine tactician has impressed in his eight seasons at the helm in Madrid, guiding his team to a memorable La Liga title triumph in 2013-14. And Simeone has seemingly ruled himself out of a switch, having decided he wants to oversee a summer rebuilding job at Atletico. And Simeone faces a busy summer with Antoine Griezmann already announcing his intention to leave the club - and Barcelona look likely to sign him. Elsewhere, Juanfran, Diego Godin and Filipe Luis are expected to leave on free transfers and Lucas Hernandez has already agreed a move to Bayern Munich.
