Alessio Romagnoli was the subject of a move by Chelsea late in the summer transfer window to solve their defensive crisis, though AC Milan stood firm. According to the Sun, though, the Blues will return in January.
A bid of £50 million reportedly is being readied for the 21-year-old, who is being featured as part of Giampiero Ventura's Italy defence. Chelsea missed out with a £35 million offer in the summer, but the Rossoneri maintain that the clubs have good relations, and that could leave the opportunity for talks to be resumed in January.

But AS reported that new manager Cesare Prandelli flew to Singapore to discuss targets with owner Peter Lim, and Javier Hernandez is the Italian's dream signing.
