According to Sky Italy, via their British counterparts Sky Sports, Chelsea are in talks with Atletico Madrid over a deal for centre-back Stefan Savic, rated at £36m by Transfermarkt, and Blues fans have been quick to react to the rumour that they want the La Liga man.

Sky Italy, via Sky Sports, report that the west London outfit are keen to bring the 27-year-old defender to Stamford Bridge, but they face competition from Juventus who are also in discussions over the Montenegro international.

The Blues, who should move to beat West Ham United to the signing of a £45m attacker with 44 goals and assists in 2017/18 to replace Willian, could be in for a busy summer in the transfer market following their disastrous defence of their 2017 Premier League title, but given they currently have Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma to pick from at centre-back, it surely isn't a priority position to sort before August 9.

Chelsea supporters took to social media to give their thoughts on the link to the former Manchester City man, and while one said "this Chelsea board has lost it", another said "we are a shambles".

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
