Nikola Maksimovic has been linked with a move to Chelsea
Blues boss Antonio Conte is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements this summer.
Kalidou Koulibaly is Chelsea’s No 1 target, and the Blues have reportedly made a £38million bid for the centre-back.
But the Daily Mail claim the west London club have now added Maksimovic to their list of defensive targets.
The 24-year-old, who joined Torino from Red Star Belgrade in 2014 for £3.2m, impressed in Serie A last season.
And the Serbia international is apparently available for £18.5m.
However the Blues face competition from Napoli for Maksimovic, with the Italian club eyeing him as a replacement for Koulibaly, who has also been linked with Everton.
