According to reports, Chelsea will back Antonio Conte in a £250million spending spree on four potential signings
Antonio Conte is said to be targeting four more key signings as the club prepare to back him with a budget which is reported to top £250 million.
Conte is set to rival Manchester City in the transfer stakes as he moves to strengthen his squad bringing in new players to Chelsea, with Alex Sandro, Antonio Candreva, Fernando Llorente and Virgil van Dijk.
Sandro is apparently high on Conte’s list of targets and even though negotiations have been difficult, Chelsea are still optimistic about a £60 million deal for the Brazilian.
The Blues are also said yo be stepping up interest in Inter Milan winger Candreva, while Swansea’s Llorente is seen as a more realistic option for Conte’s attacking options.
Van Dijk, the Southampton defender, is understood to not be a top priority at this stage but Chelsea are continuing to monitor the situation and could make a bid before the transfer window closes.
