Chelsea are considering a deal for unsettled Lazio midfielder Antonio Candreva. The 29-year-old has already stated his intentions to leave Rome in the upcoming transfer window.

According to Tempo, Blues boss Antonio Conte is eager to secure the services of Candreva, a player who has been mainstay in his Italian squad.

It is added that Lazio would be open to the player's sale, provided any club matches their £20m asking price.

League rivals Manchester United and La Liga holders Barcelona are also keeping tabs on the player's developments.

Candreva has been a key component of Lazio's midfield since his move from Cesena in 2012.
