Montolivo on Chelsea radar

Montolivo on Chelsea radar

22 June 2011 - 05:28

Fiorentina captain Riccardo Montolivo is one of several new players that Chelsea coach Andre Villas-Boas would like to bring to Stamford Bridge; with talk of a 12m GBP transfer offer for the midfielder.

  • Gary Neville breaks silence on Ruben Amorim
  • Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Estevao absent

  • Montolivo, capped 24 times by Italy, is thought to be one of the best young players in Serie A and with only one year left on his contract, Fiorentina are desperate to sell the player before it is too late and he can leave on a free transfer.



    The player can play anywhere in the midfield, but prefers playing in the middle.



    During the 2010 World Cup, the player played a central midfield role and it is believed that Chelsea sees Montolivo as a natural successor for Frank Lampard who turned 33 this year.
