Chelsea were turned down for Kalidou Koulibaly and Nikola Maksimovic, so turn to Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij.
Napoli refused to sell Koulibaly this summer and the alternative, Torino centre-back Maksimovic, seems to be heading to the Stadio San Paolo as well for €26m plus bonuses.
According to SportItalia, Antonio Conte is still determined to get a Serie A defender and turned his attention towards De Vrij.
His price-tag is €25m plus performance-related bonuses.
