Chelsea join race to sign Juventus and Milan target
Roberto Donadoni took over the club after Delio Rossi’s sacking less than one month ago, but both the managers are thinking extremely high of the Guinean-born midfielder with Italian passport.
Diawara featured in all the Rossoblu games played thus far: the first three coming off the bench, while the remaining nine as a starter. Not too bad for an 18-year-old midfielder who has played his last season wearing a San Marino shirt in Lega Pro, Italy’s third Division.
The product of Virtus Cesena Academy has all the qualities to become a modern central midfielder as he is an aggressive runner who is also able to protect the middle of the pitch, while is technical skills can be considered good although still not as good as the best European midfielders.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Milan want to strengthen their midfield signing the 18-year-old starlet, although their next Serie A rivals Juventus are also chasing the player as calciomercato.com’s transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano exclusively reveled .
Despite the Serie A giants’ interest, Chelsea seem the closest side to sign the player at the moment as Diawara’s agent has already found an agreement with the FIFA agent Pini Zahavi, who is also one of the closest confidant of Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich.
