“Please sell him to me” “He’s a great leader” – Antonio Conte wants to sign 25-years-old Chelsea star
Napoli are showing interest in Chelsea defender. The former Blues manager Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the player. The transfer can cost the Serie A Champions £25 million this summer.
Chelsea are headed for a major summer transfer window. They will be seen making new signings in all parts of the pitch. Enzo Maresca will be backed by the board after taking the club back in UCL. But, the club will also need to focus on outgoings.
Napoli interested to sign 25 year old Chelsea star
According to The Telegraph, Napoli are showing interest in Trevoh Chalobah. Conte who had great success with Chelsea earlier, is keen to bring the defender to Italy. The Blues have slapped £25 million asking price on Chalobah.
Chelsea are in no hurry to sell Chalobah. But, they can do so for the right offer. In addition, the player can force the move and make it hard for the Blues to hold him. As of now, he can be very tempting to move away from Stamford Bridge.
Chalobah has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea. He was initially sent on loan at Crystal Palace. But, the Blues called him back in middle of the season due to injury issues. Chalobah had a good season but his place as regular started is very far from guaranteed.
The Blues are set to sign some new defenders this summers. In addition, Fofana will take his spot ahead of Chalobah upon recovering. Hence, the 25 year old can opt to leave in order to play regularly somewhere else.
Napoli who just won Serie A are ready to make some key signings. Conte wants to challenge for both Serie A and Champions League next season. The board is ready to back him and hence a move for Chalobah can be made soon.
