Chelsea have expressed an interest in bringing Antonio Candreva and Leonardo Bonucci to Stamford Bridge, according to reports.
Current Italy manager Antonio Conte is joining the Blues after Euro 2016, and The Sun believes that he will use his knowledge of working with the duo on a national level to carry out the relevant deals.
Lazio winger Candreva, 29, is being targeted in a deal worth around £25m, with Conte hoping to hijack a deal looking to take the player to Inter Milan.
Meanwhile Bonucci, the 29-year-old Juventus defender, is said to be the subject of a deal worth £25m upfront, plus £7m in add-ons.
In addition to the Azzurri, Conte has previously managed Arezzo, Bari, Atalanta, Siena, and Juventus.
