Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is intensifying his push for Lazio midfielder Marco Parolo.
Premium Sports says Conte sees the Italy international as a replacement for Nemanja Matic.
The former Italy coach is going for the Azzurri star after being frustrated in attempts to prise Radja Nainggolan away from Roma.
Along with Parolo, Lazio teammate Andrea Candreva is also wanted by Conte.
Should Parolo arrive, Chelsea will be prepared to sell Nemanja Matic to Juventus.
