Chelsea management are at odds with Mario Pasalic over his next move.

Pasalic is in advanced talks with Fiorentina over a loan move and wants to make the switch to Florence this week.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport says Chelsea chiefs would prefer Pasalic join Atalanta.

There's a belief Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini would be better for Pasalic's progress than Fiorentina's Stefano Pioli.

The Blues midfielder spent last season in Russia with Spartak Moscow.
