Paper Talk: Chelsea target's dramatic U-turn; Juve on red-alert over Isco situation

Chelsea target Lucas Biglia is on the verge of signing a new deal at Lazio. The 30-year-old Argentine had looked likely to be leaving the Italian capital with Blues boss Antonio Conte anxious to add him to the roster at Stamford Bridge. Now it seems as though the Biancocelesti captain has made a dramatic U-turn and will now remain at the club he joined in 2013.
 
Corriere dello Sport claims that the new deal will make him the highest paid player of President Claudio Lotito’s tenure at Lazio with Biglia set to earn around £2.8 million a season on a deal which will see home close out his career in the Eternal City.
