Chelsea are in the market for just a handful of statement signings this summer who can improve the first-team.
The Argentina international will definitely be a good addition to the Chelsea side, which will be competing in the Champions League next season.
According to the report in Italian Media, Chelsea have made an offer in the region of 100 million euros for the striker, but the offer was rejected by Juventus representatives.
How strong that interest is and whether Chelsea will make a summer move remains to be seen but it is certainly one worth keeping an eye on.
