Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen on signing
Swansea striker Fernando Llorente - and Blues striker
Michy Batshuayi could be going the other way,
according to Sky sources.
Sky sources understand there has not been any
contact between the two clubs about the potential
deal yet.
Sky Sports' Guillem Balague understands that Conte
wants to sign Llorente "for sure", while Sky in Italy
are saying a swap deal involving Batshuayi is
"moving closer".
It is not clear if the deal would see the players
moving permanently, or on loan, or one permanent
and one loan
Michy Batshuayi could go to Swansea, say Sky in
Italy
Conte knows Llorente well, having coached him at
Juventus and the pair won the Serie A title together
in 2014.
Spaniard Llorente has scored six goals in 17 Premier
League appearances for the struggling Swans this
season.
Belgian Batshuayi is yet to start a Premier League
game since arriving from Marseille in a £33m move
last summer. He did play - and score - in Sunday's
4-1 win over Peterborough in the FA Cup third round.
Asked on Sunday about the reports from Italy about
the potential swap, Conte said: "I repeat always in
the same, in this period - I don't like to talk about
players of the other teams because it is not
respectful to the player and for the team."
