The attempts to reach a deal with Chelsea have been frequent and are continuing, but the feeling is that the pursuit is more complicated than expected, as the west London club do not want to lower their demands of a €30m option to buy.

To make room for the new midfielder, youngster Tommaso Pobega – who has returned from his loan at Pordenone – is ready to go out temporarily again to Serie A newcomers Spezia.
