Chelsea make big-money bid for Roma star
Chelsea could also move for another Manchester United target, with Italian source Gazetta dello Sport claiming that they are readying a big-money bid for Roma defender Mehdi Benatia.
The Blues could fork out around £30m for the highly-rated Moroccan international, who was one of the best centre-backs in Europe last season, helping Roma to the best defensive record in Serie A in 2013/14.
With David Luiz joining Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer, another defensive signing could be useful for Jose Mourinho’s side.
