Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan captain Alessio Romagnoli this summer on a free transfer.
The Italian centre back is out of contract at the end of the season with Chelsea keen to bring Romagnoli to Stamford Bridge, according to reports in Spain. A host of top European clubs are in the queue for the Italy international and Chelsea are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen set to leave the club this summer.
Former Blues defender Fikayo Tomori plays alongside Romagnoli for AC Milan, but it's the Italian who Chelsea are rumoured to be more interested in signing. Another name linked with a move to Stamford Bridge is Jules Kounde from Sevilla, with the Spanish side looking at Romagnoli as a potential replacement for the French defender.
