Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is weighing up a January swoop for Fiorentina midfielder Milan Badelj.
The Croatia international, who represented his country at Euro 2016, has just over 18 months to run on his contract and is yet to extend his current deal.
As a result, Fiorentina have been forced to think about cashing in on the 27-year-old and a number of clubs are ready to take him off their hands.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea are leading the way in the chase for the midfielder’s signature.
Antonio Conte became aware of Badelj’s abilities during his time as Juventus manager.
