Chelsea are eyeing departing AC Milan captain Alessio Romagnoli.

The Blues face the need to rebuild their defence this summer with potentially all of their back four departing.

Antonio Rudiger will move to Real Madrid on a free transfer, while Andreas Christensen is heading to Barcelona.

Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso could also join Barca, with their contracts set to expire.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea are chasing a free transfer of their own.

Milan captain Romagnoli is up for grabs this summer, with his San Siro contract running down.

Chelsea will have to compete for his signature, however. LaLiga giants Barcelona and Sevilla are interested in making a move for the Italian.

While German sides Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also believed to be keen.

Romagnoli has endured an injury-hit season - starting only 16 games in Serie A.
