Agent: Zambrotta prefers Milan to Chelsea

Juventus full-back Gianluca Zambrotta will only consider a move to Chelsea if his club fail to reach an agreement with AC Milan, according to his agent.

Chelsea are in race with Real Madrid and Barcelona to sign the World Cup winner and a representative of the Barclays Premiership champions will discuss a move with Juve later this week.

However, it is AC Milan who appear to have the upper hand in the negotiations.

“Zambrotta’s wish is to stay in Italy but not at Juventus, and the only club that can afford the transfer and that have shown a keen interest is AC Milan,” Zambrotta’s agent Giuseppe Bonetto said.

"Should Juve fail to reach an agreement with AC Milan then Zambrotta will consider the other alternatives.

“An agent representing Chelsea will meet Juventus in the next few days."
