For many days, it has seemed like Marco Palestra was going to stay in Serie A and Inter were making big progress to sign him. But now, Chelsea appear to be very much in the race.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Blues are at risk of jeopardising the Nerazzurriโs deal.
The Nerazzurri management spent much of the day today meeting with Alessandro Lucci, the Atalanta-owned wing-backโs agent, and they actually sat down confident they could quickly reach a definitive agreement.
Everything was done on the playerโs side and on the Atalanta side, but during todayโs lengthy meeting, a significant variable emerged. This was Chelseaโs strong involvement and they are offering significantly higher figures than Interโs already impressive offer.
Theyโre talking about โฌ5-6 million a year for the player, which he ultimately decided to accept. Palestra had always prioritized Inter, but the English clubโs conviction has dramatically altered the course of a deal that seemed already concluded.
