Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella who is also subject to interest from Liverpool.
Both Premier League big boys are looking to improve upon their midfield options ahead of this summer’s transfer window and the highly rated Barella has emerged on the radar with Inter Milan open to his sale.
According to a report from The Sun, Chelsea are on the lookout for a new signing to strengthen the engine room options in the summer despite spending a British record fee on Enzo Fernandez earlier this year in the January window.
The Blues parted ways with their long-serving maestro Jorginho who signed for Arsenal on deadline day in January and the Stamford Bridge camp are yet to strike an agreement with N’Golo Kante over a new deal.
A move for long-standing target Declan Rice appears unlikely with the West Ham United skipper understood to be edging closer to sign for the Premier League leaders Arsenal in the hopes of playing in the Champions League next season.
