Inter Milan are being linked with a move for Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso.
The Spaniard faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge following the signing of England international Ben Chilwell from Leicester City, and may be open for a chance to be reunited with the man who made him a first-choice when he was in charge of the West London club.
Any move though could depend on players leaving the Italian club first, with out-of-favour full-back Dalbert one man who could depart from the San Siro.
It will not be the first time that Conte has signed a former player from his Chelsea days either. Victor Moses spent the second half of last season on loan at the Serie A side.
Alonso was signed from Sampdoria for a fee of £24 million and has made 149 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions, scoring 22 times, although he was by no means a certain starter under Frank Lampard, even before the signing of Chilwell.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each.
