New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly wants to make the West Londoners a competitive team who can fight on all fronts following Abramovich's departure. Therefore, big signings are needed to bolster the squad.
Therefore, Chelsea are now preparing to try and sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, one of Lazio's best players. The Serbian midfielder is one of the Italian side's best players and he has a contract until 2024.
The Serbian international's market value has shot up to 100 million euros and the team from the Italian capital do not want to offer less than that.
Nevertheless, including Chelsea players Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri wants in the deal could reduce the cost of it.
