Chelsea fc in advanced negotiation to include a player plus cash in a deal to bring £107m-rated playmaker to Stamford Bridge in the summer

Italian outlet CMW claim Chelsea are planning to offer Lazio a player-plus-cash deal to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic involving Ruben Loftus-Cheek – amid reports both North London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham want the Serbian.

Spain-born Serbia star Milinkovic-Savic, 27, is seen as one of Serie A’s best midfielders. The star has now clocked up a huge 314 appearances for Lazio in all competitions – having a hand in a 121 goals. But his contract ends in June 2024.

Gazzetta Dello Sport claim Lazio president Claudio Lotito wants £107million. But with Milinkovic-Savic’s deal about to enter the last 18 months, Lotito may have to accept he is not going to get top dollar for his star, ahead of January.

A previous report from CMW says Antonio Conte wants Tottenham to sign him. Meanwhile, CMW have also said that Arsenal are keen on him – and willing to offer Albert Sambi Lokonga in a similar deal to the one Chelsea are planning.

Indeed, the Blues are likely to be after a midfielder. Jorginho and N’Golo Kante are both out of contract at the end of the season and will require replacing. The latest report states that Chelsea could include Loftus-Cheek to sign him.
