Chelsea eye John Terry replacement: Blues plot £30m raid on AC Milan for defender

CHELSEA are eyeing AC Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli as John Terry’s replacement.

   WANTED: Chelsea are keen on Milan's Alessio Romagnoli

The Blues captain is off in the summer after not being offered a new contract by the club.

The search is on for a new centre-back to fill the void and provide competition for Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma.

CalcioMercato claim Milan’s Romagnoli is on the club’s wanted list.

At 21, the defender would be an investment for the future.

But he’s likely to cost less than another of the club’s targets, Everton’s John Stones.

The report from Italy claims Chelsea would look to bid around £30m for the centre-back, who only moved to the San Siro from Roma in the summer.

Milan spent £20m for the defender, and could look to cash-in and make a quick profit.
