23-Year-Old AM Agrees Personal Terms To Complete Chelsea Transfer, Not Golovin

Chelsea midfielder Mario Palasic prepares to join Italian topflight club Atalanta this season on a loan deal.

The 23-year-old is yet to make his senior team  debut for Chelsea since joining from Hadjuk Split in 2014.

The Croatian international however has enjoyed loans spells Elche, Monaco, AC Milan and Spartak Moscow.

News milling round say the midfielder will not feature for Chelsea this new campaign under new boss Maurizio Sarri.

Gazetto Dello Sport via talksport claim that the 23-year-old has been earmarked to join Serie A outfit Atalanta on a season-long loan deal and the Blues have agreed Palasic join the club.

It is understood the player has agreed personal terms with Atalanta and is expected to spend the new season at the club.

Meanwhile, Atlanta may attempt to prise him from Stamford Bridge and make his move permanent.

But the club must be ready to cough up 13.3 million pounds to pull that move.

If the Blues cash in on the Croatian at that lofty price, Chelsea will have an excess of 10.3 million pounds since they acquired the youngster for just 3 million from Hadjuk Split.

Chelsea slipped to fifth last campaign and are undergoing a major overhaul under new boss Maurizio Sarri.

Sarri was appointed as Antonio Conte successor after the Italian led the Blues to a fifth place finish and FA Cup triumph last campaign.
