The Blues have reignited their interest in Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann, according to Calciomercato.The report suggest that Antonio Conte is close to reaching an agreement to become the new head coach at Stamford Bridge and is considering his transfer targets ahead of the summer.
As well as Juventus forward Alvaro Morata, The Blues are keen on the Frenchman, who is valued at €50 million by Atletico.
Griezmann, who joined Atletico in a €30 million deal from Real Sociedad in 2014, has scored 20 goals in 36 matches this term.
He began his career at Real Sociedad, where he spent five successful terms before transferring to Atlético Madrid for €30 million, and has netted over 80 La Liga goals in his career.
Griezmann has been a French youth international, having represented his country at under-19, under-20 and under-21 level. In 2010, he was part of the team that won the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship on home soil. He made his debut for the senior national team in 2014 and played at that year’s World Cup.
Meanwhile, Defending Premier League champions are apparently set to turn their attention to The Eagles centre-half Scott Dann, according to The Daily Mail.

Guus Hiddink’s side had identified Everton’s John Stones as his potential long-term successor, but the Toffees held firm last summer and rebuffed Chelsea’s advances.

Premier League champions have offered Willian a four-year-deal that would earn him a huge £25m if he remains for the full term.

PSG, Juventus and Bayern Munich have all held an eye on Brazilian, according to The Times.
The 26-year-old star is thought to be the first of some The Blues stars to be offered fresh terms as Roman Abramovich looks to fed off a mass exodus.
