Conte keen on signing Bundesliga full-back
Premier League giants Chelsea are said to have opened up negotiations to sign contract rebel Sead Kolasinac. The Bosnian footballer is weighing up options with his Schalke deal due to expire in the summer.
Kolasinac has been long linked with a move to England with Liverpool being the key contenders for his services.
According to Calciomercato, the Blues are looking to make a steal on Juventus who are said to have reached a verbal agreement with the player.
Kolasinac is rated as one among the top full-backs in the Bundesliga, and his attacking talents from the left side of the defence seem to have captured the attention of Conte.
The Blues currently have the likes of Nathan Ake and Marcos Alonso who can feature at left wing-back, but Conte is still hopeful of luring the Schalke ace to Stamford Bridge this month.
Chelsea have begun initial talks with the player representatives as they seek to offer him a route to the top flight of English football.
