Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is close to reaching an agreement with Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic according to reports in Italy.
The Serie A giants have identified Newcastle United's Georginio Wijnaldum as a possible replacement for the 26-year-old who is also a target for Manchester United and Barcelona.
The Giallorossi made it clear at the end of the last season that one between the Bosnian and Radja Nainggolan would have been sold during the summer transfer window.
The Belgium international is expected to stay amid rumours linking him with a move to Stamford Bridge but the Blues are expected to make a successful move to sign Pjanic in the coming weeks.
