Chelsea are ready to pounce for Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij.
After being frustrated in attempts for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, Chelsea are ready to pursue a late deal for De Vrij.
Sportitalia says Blues boss Antonio Conte is still determined to get a Serie A defender and turned his attention towards De Vrij.
His price-tag is €25m plus performance-related bonuses.
The Dutch international is only 24 years old, yet already has 30 senior caps and three goals for his country.
He was snapped up from Feyenoord in 2014 for €7m and impressed in Serie A.
