According to reports, STEPHAN LICHTSTEINER is edging towards a move to Chelsea.
Lichtsteiner has just one year remaining on his Juventus contract, meaning he could leave for a reduced fee- and has been linked with the Blues and Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports in Spain last week claimed Dani Alves is close to joining Juve, casting doubt on Lichtsteiner’s future at the club.
And according to Swiss news outlet Blick, the defender’s move to Stamford Bridge is ‘more likely’ than a switch to Paris- most likely due to the depth at the French club.
The report says Antonio Conte has a good relationship with the full-back and could bring sign him for around £8million.
Focus on Euros more important:
The player is aware of the reports being made about him and insists he is not “external to rumours”. Despite this however, he remains set on focusing on his performances throughout Euro 2016, in which he will play for Switzerland.
“We are not in a great moment, certain things are not going well but the two or three weeks of preparation will be important for us, we can improve,” he said.
“You might think our opening game against Albania should be relatively simple for us but, in fact, it is a sort of derby since there are Kosovo-born players in both teams.
“These guys do not see this as any ordinary game, they are under a lot of pressure, so that makes our opening game very tough.”
