Reports in Italy have claimed that Premier League holders Chelsea are close to reaching an agreement for Bologna youngster Amadou Diawara.
The Blues reportedly have an agreement in place with the player’s agent, but it remains to be seen whether they can agree a deal with the Serie A side.
Juventus and AC Milan are both keen on the 18-year-old, with both sides ready to offer players plus cash deal to Bologna.
The talented footballer returned to Renato Dall’Ara in the summer following a successful loan spell with San Marino Calcio and was surprisingly given an opportunity in the senior squad.
The Guinean has made a total of 12 Serie A appearances this term, starting 9 of those games, and he was quite impressive in the holding midfield role.
His suitors Chelsea will be desperate to kick-start their Premier League campaign when they host Norwich, with home win paying 1.44 (4/9).
