Updates on situations including Nainggolan, Ivanovic and Diego Costa

It’s thought that Chelsea could be heading for a bit of a transfer re-shuffle this summer.

Swap Deal for Nainggolan

As reported last week, they’re keeping tabs on Roma’s Radja Nainggolan, who is reportedly top of new manager Antonio Conte’s summer wishlist. It’s thought that the Italian side are demanding ÂŁ36million for the central midfielder, who is under contract until 2020.

It’s thought that the price tag are something Chelsea are wanting to negotiate with and could offer Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Andreas Christensen as part of the deal.

Roma tracking Ivanovic

Meanwhile, Roma themselves are looking at Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, who fits their criteria of a versitile defender who can play at both centre-half and right-back. Ivanovic signed a one-year contract extension at Stamford Bridge in January, but could rethink his decision to stay after the departure of Jose Mourinho.

Costa replacement identified

And finally, it was reported last week that Diego Costa could be on his way out of Chelsea and a proposed move to China was on the cards. It’s now looking like Chelsea are indeed preparing for his departure as they’re lining up a bid for PSG’s Edinson Cavani.

Ligue 1 expert Julien Laurens said:

“He’s not having the best season of his career but that’s because he plays wide and I think if you play him in the centre like at Napoli, with the right service he’s a wonderful striker,” he told BT Sport

“A club like Manchester United or even Chelsea, if Diego Costa goes, would be ready to have.”
