#4 Chelsea want Barella

Nicolo Barella is on Chelsea's radar

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has been linked with a move to Monaco. However, it hasn’t been official yet as, according to journalist Rob Dorsett, the Blues want to sign a replacement before announcing the deal.

He also added that Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella is on the top of the Blues list of Fabregas replacement. Maurizio Sarri is apparently a huge fan of the midfielder but it won’t be easy to sign him as not only will he cost around £45 million but he is also in demand with Napoli leading the way for him.

“Chelsea want a replacement before they let that happen. Chelsea are looking at a number of replacements and Barella is a key man in the chain,” he said.

“Sarri's a big admirer of the player and he'd cost £45million but he has competition for him. Our colleagues at Sky in Italy are reporting that Sarri's former club Napoli have emerged as favourites."
