With their hopes of signing Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli fading, Chelsea have turned their attentions to AC Milan’s Alessio Romagnoli, Sky Italia reports.
It says Blues manager Antonio Conte has offered £30 million for the 21-year-old — but Milan are determined to keep him and have rejected that initial bid.
But another alternative could be Torino’s Nikola Maksimovic, according to the Daily Mail.
The 24-year-old Serbia international is also interesting Napoli, and the paper says that although they would offer £21.5 million for him “Chelsea have made it clear they are ready to offer more.”

Antonio Conte’s long and winding search for a central defender has also led Chelsea to Nikola Maksimovic of Torino.
Maksimovic, 24, has been refusing to train with his club amid long-standing interest from Napoli.
Torino claimed the Serbia international — who has been compared to countryman Nemanja Vidic — was not for sale but Chelsea have made it clear they are ready to offer more than the £21.5million proposed by Napoli.
Cuadrado close to Juve return
According to Juventus director of football Giuseppe Marotta, winger Juan Cuadrado is poised to return to the Serie A champions in the next couple of days.
Marotta told Italian outlet Mediaset: “I hope that over the next few days we can conclude the Cuadrado deal
“For now he is a Chelsea player. We presented a proposal to them and are waiting for a response, but we are optimistic.”
The Colombia international arrived at Stamford Bridge from Fiorentina in January 2015 but struggled to make an impression on the first-team. He was sent out on loan last term to Juve and was successful, with the Old Lady now keen to bring him back.
