Chelsea keeping tabs on versatile Roma ace

Chelsea are reportedly monitoring the situation of Alessandro Florenzi, who has yet to commit to a new contract with AS Roma.

The Italy international has just a year left on his existing deal and he has so far stalled on a potential extension at the Stadio Olimpico.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi may consider Florenzi's sale during the summer, should he continue with his contract stand-off.

It is added that Juventus, Inter and Chelsea are monitoring his services, though the latter may be deemed favourites with Roma unlikely to sell to a direct league rival.

Florenzi, who has spent the past 16 years in the Italian capital, is said to want a minimum annual wage of £3.5m in order to stay put at the Giallorossi.

The Italian is capable of playing anywhere on the right side of the field and a potential move to Stamford Bridge may see him reunited with ex-Italy boss Antonio Conte.
