@chelseabluestandard: CHELSEA CLOSE IN ON MARCO PALESTRA AFTER INTER HIJACK 🔵🇮🇹 Chelsea are on the verge of signing Marco Palestra after overtaking Inter Milan in the race for the highly-rated Atalanta wing-back. A package worth over €55m has been agreed with Atalanta, with Inter refusing to match the bid or salary offer. The 21-year-old is now finalising personal terms and is understood to prefer a move to Stamford Bridge. Xabi Alonso has played a key role in the deal, with Chelsea viewing Palestra as a versatile full-back option for both sides. The Italian international is expected to choose Chelsea after previously attracting interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. A final green light from the player is now the only step remaining before completion. #chelsea #chelseafc #transfernews #marcopalestra #palestra
