Chelsea are ready to make a cash only offer for Roma starlet Antonio Cassano, according to reports.
It was widely believed that Cassano would be joining Juventus this summer but the Giallorossi’s transfer ban has blocked that move.
The Italian champions were willing to offer a cash plus player deal, but seeing as the capital side can’t register any new players that is no longer an option.
Chelsea though would have no problems in offering a fee and whispers suggest they are ready to make an initial bid of £10m.
The Stadio Olimpico club may be forced to accept that amount given Cassano’s current contract situation.
The player is no closer to extending his agreement at the club and will be available on a free transfer next summer.
There are also further signs of tension between the outfit and the international after he was replaced as the club’s vice-captain last month.
It’s unclear at this stage how accurate the Chelsea link is but the Premiership giants would be in a fine position to land the attacker.
Stories suggest that they are ready to offer the player a five-year contract worth over £4m a season – more than what he wants to stay in Rome.
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon will allegedly fly out to Italy after August 15 to initiate talks.
