Managers are now pressing ahead with their plans for the summer transfer window so we’ll bring you all the latest news and gossip from around the globe.
Antonio Conte wants to sign a right wing-back to provide healthy competition for Victor Moses.
According to a report of The Sun, the Premier League champions have made an opening €23 million bid to sign the Italy International who shined for the azzurri in last year’s Euro 2016 campaign under Antonio Conte.
Antonio Conte has already been busy in the summer transfer market having signed goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Antonio Rudiger, midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko and striker Alvaro Morata.
He looks set to miss out on Real Madrid’s Danilo, with the Brazil worldwide closing in on a £28m move to Premier League rivals Manchester City.
Chelsea are reportedly interested in sealing the transfer of Inter Milan wide-man Antonio Candreva as an alternative to the Manchester City-bound Danilo.
Costa has scored 52 goals in 89 league games for Chelsea, with the 28-year-old winning two league titles in his three years at the club. However, the Italian is thought to be keen on making the switch to the Premier League champions, who would be able to offer him a considerable pay-rise.
Candreva is said to be in line for a big bump on his £85,000-a-week wages if he heads for west London.
The striker and Antonio Conte fell out at the end of the season and with Alvaro Morata about to join Chelsea, the Premier League champions are planning ahead without the Spain worldwide.
