The Turin-based sports daily notes that the Blues’ Branislav Ivanovic is out of contract at the end of the season, though he didn’t play in midweek as he’s currently injured.
In addition, the newspaper believes the Beneamata could be interested in defenders Aleksandar Dragovic and Domagoj Vida of Dinamo Kiev.
Andriy Yarmolenko could also reportedly be a target, but the Ukrainian could not arrive in January as the quota of non-EU players has already been used.
At White Hart Lane, Spurs’ Erik Lamela – who is Argentinian but has an EU passport – and Jan Vertonghen are both thought to be coveted by Inter, while Youri Tielemans and Leander Dendoncker of Anderlecht are also on the radar.
