Chelsea are lining up an offer for Juventus' Georgio Chiellini following Napoli's reluctance to sell top target Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Blues have been on the pursuit of Koulibaly for somewhile, but it seems Napoli will not offload their asset in the transfer window.
According to The Sun, Antonio Conte has shifted his focus to Chiellini, a player with whom he has worked at the Old Lady and the Italian national side.
Chiellini is on the wrong side of 30, and a fee of around £25m could be sufficient to persuade the Old Lady into a transfer agreement.
The centre-back was impressive for Italy at the European championships where they lost out to Germany on penalties in the quarter-final stage. He has earned over 400 appearances for Juventus since joining from Fiorentina 11 years ago.
