Chelsea have found out how much they will have to pay to prise Nicolo Barella away from Cagliari, according to the Mirror.
The Serie A side reportedly want £50m for the 21-year-old, with Inter Milan and Napoli also said to be very interested in a deal.
Cagliari want to hold onto Barella until at least next summer, where it will take a hefty bid to lure him away.
Barella has made 22 appearances so far this season, with several impressive performances which have attracted interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.
Chelsea remain in the hunt for another central midfielder after letting Cesc Fabregas leave to join French outfit AS Monaco, and have registered their interest in Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Leandro Paredes as well.
But with Paredes set to join Ligue 1 giants Paris St-Germain, their search for a midfielder has not been easy, with all the potential suitors valued highly by their current clubs.
