The Blues have made contact with Inter Milan regarding a transfer deal for defender Juan Jesus, According to reports
The 25-year-old is is a star in Italian football but suffered lack of form last season, finding himself struggling to get ahead the likes of Miranda and Jeison Murillo.
However, that has not bothered incoming Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, who got to see what the lad was made during his time as Juventus manager.
Conte is reportedly planning a ‘flexible defense‘ for next season that can switch between a back four and a back three and the Brazilian would fit perfectly, having the ability of playing at centre-half or left-back.
FC Inter News are speculating the South American is being also targeted as an alternative to Antonio Rudiger, who was strongly linked with Chelsea before suffering a crucial ACL injury.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the 2017/18 season, sources are reporting Jesus could be available for only £7.7million.
