However, he is hoping to raid former Premier League clubs to sign a few of the players that helped him win the Europa League and the EFL Cup titles.
Topping the list of the former Juventus handler is Ruben Loftus-Cheek and the Serie A club is already planning to make a loan move for the Englishman with an option to buy later.
The midfielder spent the recently concluded season at Fulham scoring once in 33 appearances across competitions for them.
And with his contract with the Blues expiring in 2024, he might be opened to the move seeing that he may never impress Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.
Sarri was named a replacement for Simone Inzaghi who in turn has gone to take over from Antonio Conte at Inter Milan.
