Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is targeting Fiorentina midfielder Milan Badelj.
Badelj's agent has stated this season that they expect to leave the Viola.
Goal reports Chelsea have joined the race for Badelj.
The report claims Conte was watching the Croatian in Fiorentina's 2-1 win over Torino a fortnight ago.
And the Blues could make a move for the 27-year-old if AC Milan fail in their attempts to secure him in January.
