Sunderland have not yet received any offers from Chelsea for Emanuele Giaccherini, despite all the speculation in the media.
Giaccherini has been impressive for Italy under Antonio Conte for Italy at Euro 2016, However, reports from the Sunderland Echo suggest the Black Cats are not expecting an offer for him.
The player’s agent Furio Valcareggi was quoted in saying: “Conte likes him a lot and Chelsea would be a dream.”
But, after a run at Sunderland, it would now seem it has put Chelsea off the player and may be seen as a risky buy, However. given that Conte knows Giaccherini very well, he could be still inclined to buy the Italy star.
There is only a £2 million asking price on Giaccherini, who had spent last season on loan at Bologna, and the report also suggests a move back to Italy for the 31-year-old could be on the cards as well.
