The Evening Standard reports that scouts from Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City watched Icardi on Sunday and suggests that all three clubs are considering him as a possible signing.

It follows reports in the Italian media that Atletico Madrid and a number of Premier League sides are keen on the 22-year-old Argentina international.

There have also been reports that contract talks between Icardi and Inter have stalled and that the Italian club could be willing to sell for around £22m if he does not sign a new deal.

The Blues have also been consistently linked with Paul Pogba.

Metro claim comments by Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta after his side won without the midfielder is a sign Pogba, who has a hamstring injury, could be sold and is therefore a boost for Chelsea.

Marotta is quoted as saying: “We are here celebrating a victory achieved by a team, a team that played without Pogba. This means football is a team sport and not just about individuals.”
