Chelsea already in summer transfer talks, Conte’s friendship will help push through deal

 

The Telegraph recently reported Chelsea will allow Kurt Zouma to go out on loan next season as they look to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton.

Fanatik say Galatasaray are currently leading to race to land the Chelsea youngster and that the Turkish club are already in negotiations with the Premier League side to sign the Frenchman.

Earlier last month it was reported in the Turkish press that Galatasaray boss Igor Tudor wants to use his close friendship with Chelsea manager Antonio Conte to get Zouma. Fanatik today report Conte is ready to give a favour to his close friend by allowing Zouma to join Galatasaray on loan.

Zouma has completely recovered from his knee injury which kept him on the sidelines for a year.

However, his absence has cost him his place in Conte’s team, and he may need to go out on loan to get more playing time.

Galatasaray are looking to sign at least two central defenders in the next window with Manchester City’s Eliaquim Mangala and Cardiff City’s Bruno Ecule Manga also linked with the Turkish giants.
