Antonio Conte's agent claims Chelsea move was close

Italy Training Session And Press Conference


.Antonio Conte’s agent Federico Pastorello has claimed that the Blues were close to signing Inter Milan midfielder Antonio Candreva back in January, speaking to Rai Sport.

Pastorello told Rai Sport:
“This past January, Chelsea wanted to sign Antonio Candreva. They needed a replacement for Oscar and Antonio would have been a good one. However, he had just joined Inter and Suning do not want to sell their best players. I don’t know if he’ll stay at Inter, I’ll talk to [Inter Directors] Ausilio and Sabatini.”
Candreva only joined Inter from Lazio at the start of last season in a deal worth €22 million and with Champions League football back at Stamford Bridge, Conte may well reignite his interest in Candreva this summer if Inter Milan are willing to do business with the Premier League champions.
Candreva and Conte have previously worked with each other when Conte was in charge of the national side and it is believed that the pair have a good relationship.
