Chelsea are reportedly weighing up the possibility of moving for Juventus attacker Federico Bernardeschi during this summer's transfer window.
The 26-year-old, who has recently been linked with Manchester United, scored twice and provided three assists in 38 appearances for the Old Lady during the 2019-20 campaign.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve are keen to offload the attacker in the coming weeks as new head coach Andrea Pirlo looks to move the team in a different direction.
The report claims that Chelsea are keeping a close eye on developments as they consider a summer move, while Atletico Madrid have also been credited with an interest.
Bernardeschi joined the Italian champions from Fiorentina in 2017 and has made 108 appearances for the club over the last three campaigns, contributing 10 goals and 15 assists.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have allegedly been given a deadline of August 28 by Bayer Leverkusen to agree a deal for Germany attacker Kai Havertz.
Manchester United unwilling to meet Jadon Sancho's wage demands?

Jadon Sancho's salary expectations could reportedly see the Borussia Dortmund attacker miss out on a move to Manchester United this summer.
The Red Devils continue to be linked with the 20-year-old, but BVB have insisted on a number of occasions since returning to pre-season training that the England international will not be leaving the club.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the 20-time English champions are yet to make a breakthrough in discussions over the attacker's proposed salary and agent's fees.
The report claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are determined not to overpay either Sancho or the agent, having previously done so in the deals involving Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez.
United are allegedly refusing to give up on a deal for the former Manchester City youngster, but it remains to be seen whether they can agree personal terms with the player and a transfer fee with Dortmund.
Sancho enjoyed an excellent 2019-20 campaign for Lucien Favre's side, scoring 20 times and registering 20 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions.
Liverpool are also said to be keeping a close eye on developments.
