TOP STORY: Pulisic could land in Serie A

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, there is uncertainty surrounding the future of the Blues and that they are interested in as many as four players.

Roman Abramovich, the owner of the club, had his assets frozen by the UK Government, so any transfer business could be complicated.

They will operate under a new licence that will allow the club to continue footballing operations, but with restrictions on certain things such as the ability to renew contracts or transfer players.

The Bianconeri are said to be interested in a number of players if they can sign them from the Blues.

The American has scored four times and assisted once in 14 appearances this season, but he hasn't been in the starting XI for the majority of the season.

If Massimiliano Allegri cannot land Nicolo Zaniolo, then the USMNT attacker is one of the players that he is looking at.

Midfielder Jorginho is said to be a priority option to bring back to Italy, with his deal set to expire in 2023, while defender Antonio Rudiger is also a potential option as he is a free agent in the summer.

James Olley explains what the sanctions imposed on Roman Abramovich mean for the club, including their ability to sign players in the summer transfer window.

"Chelsea will have been planning for the summer despite the transfer market currently being closed, but no new transactions can be agreed while the club is frozen. Outstanding payments on existing deals -- for example, players already at the club signed on deals where the cost was spread over a number of years -- will continue as normal, assuming the cash exists in the club to meet those obligations. Sources have told ESPN that this includes payments relating to the deals for Ben Chilwell from Leicester City and Timo Werner from Red Bull Leipzig."
