Chelsea are watching Napoli attacker Lorenzo Insigne's situation.

Insigne is off contract in June and agent, Vincenzo Pisacane, has labelled the new offer from Napoli as "surprising".

"I must clarify that the contract offer comes with a 50 per cent pay cut. I am an agent and I must defend the captain at any time," Pisacane said, speaking to Italian outlet Il Roma.

"Usually, you offer more money when you want to extend a contract. Lorenzo was surprised [by Napoli offer]. There is mutual respect with Aurelio, but he knows that the proposal must be increased and not cut."

Football.London says with the Italy international's agent seemingly notifying clubs of his client's availability ahead of the winter window, it hands Chelsea a major boost in their pursuit, should they be inclined to reignite interest.
