Franco Di Santo On Loan List At Chelsea As Blues Join Hunt For Inter's Mario Balotelli


Chelsea are preparing to offload Franco Di Santo on loan and speculation is rife that the Blues are setting their sights on the Inter starlet Mario Balotelli as a replacement.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Blues are planning to farm-out their 21-year-old striker, who spent last season with Blackburn Rovers, to make squad space at Stamford Bridge ahead of the new campaign.

Dutch club Feyenoord is reportedly interested in Di Santo, while Wigan Athletic, Blackburn, Bolton Wanderers and FC Twente are also thought to be in the hunt for the Argentinian.

The current Premier League holders are set to bolster their attacking options during the summer transfer window, and after Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson made it clear Fernando Torres was not for sale, Carlo Ancelotti has set his sights on Balotelli’s signature.

However, Chelsea are believed to be competing alongside Manchester City for the unsettled San Siro star.
