Chelsea might have already accomplished one signing this summer, but the business is still up and running as Antonio Conte’s arrival seems to be attracting more interest from players around Europe.
According to Football Italia, Lazio forward Felipe Anderson’s agents are working their way through to pull their client a big money move to Stamford Bridge.
The young Brazilian was a big hit last summer, as his transfer to Manchester United was just inches away from becoming true. However the club insisted to have turned down the €50m offer, and the player remained unhappily in Italy.
Felipe Anderson recently sacked his previous agent and hired Giuliano Bertolucci, who is affiliated with Kia Joorabchian. That way he would get to work with Conte at West London.
The versatile 23-year-old has a contract with Lazio until 2020, but due to his abysmal relations with the club, it’s likely he’s heading out this summer.
The Italian side experienced a very variable period of time as the club announced their new manager Marcelo Bielsa this week only for him to resign two days later, before him even turning up for the pre-season training.
Despite that, Lazio are considered as tough negotiators, and they’re reluctant of letting Anderson go with any less than €30m.
