Chelsea have their eyes on another youngster from across Europe.
Young Lorenzo Priola is one of the best prospects in the Inter Milan youth academy, and SerieBnews name the Blues along with Man City, Dortmund and Juventus as potential buyers for the youngster.
A regular in the “Primavera” Italian youth league, he’s tall strong, and has a mean face. What more do you want from an Italian centre-back?
He won’t be an easy signing, by any stretch of the imagination.
Firstly his contract has been “armoured” as the source puts it, until 2025. He’s locked up and it will take serious cash to free him.
The second reason explains just why he was given such a secure deal – Inter manager and former Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte rates the youngster, and even brought him along to their summer camp in last preseason.
