Milan reject Chelsea bid for Romagnoli

Chelsea have had a bid in excess of €25million for defender Alessio Romagnoli rejected by AC Milan, the Italian club have confirmed.
The Blues are in the market for a new centre-half with John Terry and Gary Cahill the only fit, recognised players in that position currently on the books.
Kurt Zouma is targeting a September comeback from a serious knee injury, leaving Coach Antonio Conte short of numbers in the interim.
Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly is another reported target and Conte may opt to step up his interest in the Senegalese having been knocked back by Milan.
The Rossoneri announced via their TV channel they had rejected an offer “higher than the fee they paid Roma” for Romagnoli last year.
The 21-year-old came through the ranks at the Stadio Olimpico before an impressive loan spell at Sampdoria in the 2014-15 season led to a move to San Siro.
