Andrea Ranocchia (Inter Milan)
By all accounts, the Premier League giants are planning for life in the capital without the services of in-demand Brazil centre-back David Luiz going forward, with the popular defender set to be on his way to La Liga champions FC Barcelona in the new year.
However, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is understood to have already targeted a replacement central defender for the Barca-bound Luiaz, and that player is Inter’s coveted Italy international, a man with a glowing reputation back in his homeland as being one of the most impressive defenders in the league.
And now the Blues will attempt to lure Ranocchia to west London in January, according to the Daily Mirror.
