Transfer gossip: Blues ‘on alert’ over Allan, Talksport claim

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Comments by Napoli midfielder Allan’s agent have put Chelsea on ‘red alert’, Talksport reckon.

It comes after the 25-year-old Brazilian’s representative, Claudio Vagheggi, responded to speculation about Allan’s future.

“Could Allan go to England? Business is business, I’d see nothing wrong with that if all the sides were happy with the terms of the deal,” Vagheggi apparently told a radio station.

“But the first thing I’d do would be go to see the club and see if the contract can be improved, because he doesn’t earn much.”

The remarks mean Liverpool as well as the Blues are now ‘on alert’, Metro have since claimed.

Meanwhile, Italian media reports have suggested that Chelsea are ready to make Roma an offer for defender Kostas Manolas.

The Daily Star have subsequently picked up on other reports in Italy that have suggested an approach for the 24-year-old has already been rebuffed.

And reports in France claim Chelsea have offered Paris St-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic a two-year deal worth almost £10m a season.
