Chelsea have officially confirmed the signing of Italian international Marco Palestra from Atalanta in a deal worth a reported £47 million. The 21-year-old defender becomes the first major acquisition of the Xabi Alonso era at Stamford Bridge as the Blues look to overhaul their squad following a difficult season.

Chelsea have moved swiftly to secure their first major signing of the summer, reportedly reaching a £47 million agreement for Atalanta’s rising star Marco Palestra. The 21-year-old Italy international has chosen Stamford Bridge over a move to Inter Milan, handing new manager Xabi Alonso a significant boost ahead of his debut campaign in west London.

This weekend, set pieces made all the difference, determining whether a team would play in the Champions League or miss out on the most prestigious club tournament entirely.

Luka Modric is reportedly ready to extend his AC Milan contract, but the 40-year-old's continuation at San Siro hinges on two crucial conditions being met. The midfielder has enjoyed a stellar campaign under Massimiliano Allegri, but his future depends on Champions League qualification and the manager staying before he heads to the World Cup with Croatia.
