Chelsea may have beaten his current team in the Champions League on Tuesday night, but they remain big admirers of striker Federico Chiesa.
And reports in Italy suggest that they may be ready to translate their interest into a firm bid for a player who is still technically on loan in Turin.
He joined Juventus from parent club Fiorentina on a two-year loan deal at the start of last season, an arrangement that is set to become permanent at the end of this campaign.
However, with Juventus currently languishing in mid-table in Serie A, it is hoped that a big offer might persuade them to part with him, so they can use the funds to reinvest in the squad.
