Chelsea are reported to be on the verge of completing the signing of Marcelo Brozovic from Internazionale.

The two clubs are believed to have agreed a fee of around £25million, according to Daily Mail.

Brozovic has just recently signed permanently for the Serie A club following an 18-month-long loan spell, yet is free to leave following the arrival of Joao Mario.

The 23-year-old box-to-box midfielder has won 20 international caps for Croatia, scoring four times for his country.

Marcos Alonso, the Fiorentina full-back, is also set to arrive at Stamford Bridge, according to Sky Sports.

Chelsea are ‘in advanced talks’ with the 25-year-old’s club, who are expected to demand a fee in the region of £24m.

Nevertheless, Carlos Freitas, Fiorentina’s sporting director, played down reports linking Alonso with a move away from the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Monday.

When asked whether the former Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland player would be leaving, Freitas said: "He is a Fiorentina player at the moment."

Onto outgoings, and Juan Cuadrado has reportedly asked for permission to return to Juventus.

The 28-year-old winger spent last season on loan with the Serie A champions and, according to the Evening Standard, his agent Alessandro Lucci is to fly to London and hold talks with Chelsea officials.

Elsewhere, Patrick Bamford has sealed yet another loan move away from Chelsea, joining Burnley on a season-long deal.
