Chelsea are reportedly planning to make a move for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as a replacement for N'Golo Kante this summer.
This is not the first time the 25-year-old Serbian has been linked with a move to the Premier League.
However, The Blues have their rivals Manchester United to contend with if they must achieve their goal at the end of this season.
Although, Frank Lampard seems more serious as he is said to be looking for ready made alternative for Kante who appears to have fallen down the pecking order with the boss.
SunSport reports that a number of top European clubs have shown interest in the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, but Real Madrid may be the lucky one having reached an agreement with them.
They are also planning to sell the Frenchman to raise funds for Kai Havertz. However the Blues might have to cough out about £70 million for Milinkovic-Savic.
Los Blancos and Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping tabs on the Serbian.
The Sun claims Chelsea and Real have made their interests known while Man Utd and PSG are playing catch-up, say Gazzetta dello Sport.
