Antonio Conte reportedly wants Swansea City striker Fernando Llorente at Chelsea but Fernando would only join Chelsea on one condition.
According to the Daily Telegraph, 31-year-old Llorente would only join Chelsea if he is given assurances that he won’t be Chelsea’s third-choice striker.
With Llorente’s condition for joining Chelsea, a loan exit for 23-year-old Michy Batshuayi looks increasingly likely.
The option of Batshuayi joining Swansea City on loan for the rest of the season is off because a move to Swansea City doesn’t appeal to Batshuayi. The 23-year-old striker prefers to join West Ham on loan.
