Milan's Andrea Pirlo On Verge Of Joining Chelsea - Report
New emerging details from Spain claim Andrea Pirlo is closer than ever to joining Chelsea...
Pirlo, who has been chased by a number of top European sides, has always claimed he would be staying at Milan, but reports in Italy have suggested otherwise. Spanish media have linked him to Atletico Madrid, but it now appears that he will be heading to the Blues.
The report suggests contacts between Ancelotti and Milan have gathered excitement in recent days with Chelsea ready to tempt the Italians with an €18million bid. Further voices surrounding the Milanese giants claim they are ready to lure Sao Paulo ace Hernanes to the San Siro as a replacement for the Italian.
It is suggested the Brazilians want €30m for their man, but the Rossoneri are looking to respond to that demand with just a €10m offer.
As for Pirlo, neither Chelsea nor Milan have made a comment on the latest emerging news from Spain.
