Breaking news: Fabrizio Romano claims Chelsea boss Tuchel has been interested in versatile winger since January as he is spotted in London ahead of medicals and to team mates .

 There has been no agreement between

 Chelsea and soon-to-be out-of-contract

 Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic despite 

reports in Italy, according

 to Fabrizio Romano.

Earlier, Italian outlet Sportmediaset 

claims that Chelsea have reached 

an agreement with the 33-year-old 

over a free transfer move in the summer.

Perisic reportedly prefers a move to 

Stamford Bridge due to Chelsea’s 

offering a better contract (a two-year

 deal worth €6million-a-year) than 

Inter (a two-year deal worth €4.5m-a-year).

However, Romano said that Perisic 

has yet to reach an agreement with 

any club at the moment.

Chelsea, according to the Italian transfer 

expert, are indeed interested. Thomas 

Tuchel, in particular, has reportedly kept 

an eye on the versatile winger since

 January.

However, the west London club is reportedly

 still waiting to negotiate an offer — 

which makes sense given the club’s not

 being able to offer contracts or sign 

new players under the current licence.

Chelsea’s reported interest in Perisic,

 who has mostly played as a left wing

-back at Inter this season, is certainly

 interesting.

The club rarely signs veteran players 

under Roman Abramovich’s ownership

, with Thiago Silva being the only recent

 example of this type of signing.

Silva’s success at the club may have influenced

 the shift in transfer policy.

Tuchel may need more left wing-back 

options next season with Marcos Alonso

 being linked with a move to Barcelona.

Emerson Palmieri is expected to return

 from his loan spell at Lyon, but it remains

 unclear whether he will be part Tuchel’s

 squad next season.
