Gazzetta dello Sport reports Chelsea could come back into contention for the signing of Gonzalo Higuain, should negotiations continue to stall with Milan.
Yesterday, the Argentine forward appeared certain to complete a move to San Siro after Juventus and the Rossoneri agreed a deal, which also includes the exchange of Mattia Caldara and Leonardo Bonucci.
But it has emerged that Higuain is unhappy with the idea of moving on an initial loan deal – something that Milan seemingly have to do in order to satisfy Financial Fair Play regulations.

Yesterday, the Argentine forward appeared certain to complete a move to San Siro after Juventus and the Rossoneri agreed a deal, which also includes the exchange of Mattia Caldara and Leonardo Bonucci.
But it has emerged that Higuain is unhappy with the idea of moving on an initial loan deal – something that Milan seemingly have to do in order to satisfy Financial Fair Play regulations.
He also wants the Diavolo to pay him wages of €9m-a-season.
Negotiations will continue today – with Milan remaining favourites to sign Higuain – but Gazzetta reports Chelsea could be back in the running for the 30-year-old’s signature.
According to the Italian daily, the Blues are in advanced negotiations to sell forward Olivier Giroud to French club Marseille.
Once that deal is completed, the Stamford Bridge club will reportedly have the finances to make an offer to Juve to match that of Milan’s.
New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has not given up hope of a reunion with Higuain, with the duo having worked together at Napoli.
And the English Premier League club should be able to satisfy both Higuain’s wage demands and his desire to complete a permanent transfer away from Turin.
