Calcio Mercato claim that Juventus have “ovetaken” Chelsea in the race to sign Fiorentina’s wonderkid Federico Bernardeschi.
The 23 year old has wowed watchers of Serie A over the last couple of years, and now Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus are all being mentioned as possible destinations.
In reality there has been nothing concrete linking Chelsea with the playmaker. The logic seems to be that he is Italian and playing in Serie A, therefore Conte must like him. But nothing has been leaked from anywhere to suggest that at this stage our interest has reached any stage beyond scouting the creative midfielder.
He’s a popular target for Chelsea fans though, and many will be hoping this fantasy turns into reality.
