Derby manager Frank Lampard has told his players he will leave for Chelsea if the right offer comes in.][
Lampard is favourite to take over in the Stamford Bridge chair from Maurizio Sarri.
Sarri left Chelsea to become manager of Juventus on a three-year deal. The 60-year-old joined the Blues from Napoli in July 2018 and led them to third in the Premier League and won the Europa League in his one season in charge. He signed a three-year contract worth over €6m per year plus bonuses.
Initial talks between the Rams and the Premier League giants are said to have been held. The Pride Park club want £4m in compensation for Lampard. But Derby are yet to receive a formal offer for their boss.
