Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is plotting a huge £96m double swoop for Juventus duo Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro this summer.
Conte is looking to raid the elite division of his homeland in search of top talent, with Bonucci and Sandro heading the list.
Reports in Italy claim the Chelsea boss will push hard for the Juventus pairing, while fellow Italian boss Rober to Mancini, of Zenit St Petersburg, is also planning to plunder the league.
The front page of Italian publication Corriere dello Sport carries the message ‘Attenti a quei due’ – ‘watch out for these two,’ while bearing the images of both Conte and his compatriot Mancini.
The coverage points to Chelsea’s upcoming ‘assault’ on Juventus, with the current champions hoping to prise away two of their star assets.
Conte had been said to be unhappy with transfer policy at Stamford Bridge this summer, after making his desire to improve upon his title winning squad known.
The Blues have also recently put on hold their talks with Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is believed to be looking to double his £90,000 per week wages.
Meanwhile former Premier League boss Mancini has his eyes set on Roma, who have recently signalled their selling ambition after allowing Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah leave for Liverpool.
Mancini is said to be putting together a €45m (£40m) double bid for Leandro Paredes and Kostas Manolas, with the hope of bringing the pair to Russia.
