Barcelona jump to front of the queue for Chelsea, Juve target N’Zonzi

Barcelona have jumped to front of the queue for Chelsea, Juventus target Steven N’Zonzi. According to a report of fichajes.com, the Frenchman tops Luis Enrique’s shortlist for midfield reinforcement as the Spanish boss is looking for a back-up to regular starter Sergio Busquets.

N’Zonzi has netted to goals in 14 games in all competitions so far this season and is also believed to be a target of Chelsea and Juventus as both Antonio Conte and Max Allegri urge to sign some midfield reinforcement in the January transfer window.

N’Zonzi, 27, has a release clause of € 30 million included in his contract with Sevilla and would be ready to leave the Sanchez Pizjuan outfit should any club meet his minimum release fee.

Juventus, however, are not going to invest as much money in January, whilst Chelsea could consider a move for the Frenchman should Cesc Fabreagas leave the Stamford Bridge.
