    Chelsea make an important bid for Badelj and are now in pole position

    This is a bit of a surprise as Chelsea have made an important bid for AC Milan target Milan Badelj. According to Premium Sport, Chelsea presented an important offer to Fiorentina for Badelj and la Viola seem satisfied with this offer. Fiorentina evaluate Badelj at around 12 million euros. Out of the blue, Chelsea now seem to be in pole position for the Croatian midfielder. 

    It will now be up to coach Paulo Sousa to decide as his final say will be crucial in this situation. Fiorentina will try to work closely with Sousa's transfer market guidelines as they are also potentially working on renewing the coaches contract as well.

    Badelj has scored one goal this season for Fiorentina but he should be a very hot name to watch in this upcoming January transfer market. Other than Chelsea and AC Milan, Stefano Pioli's Inter Milan are another big club who have shown interest in the Croatian midfielder.
