Andrea Ranocchia continues to be connected to the Premier League. As reported by the Daily Mail, in fact, the defender, for which there is already an interest from Chelsea in particular, is well thought of by their rivals: Manchester City. This is an interest that dates back to Roberto Mancini’s time on the bench, and one that could reemerge since the Citizens require a reinforcement for the defence. There is also talk of Nicolas Otamendi of Porto and Eliaquim Mangala possibly being evaluated, however the 40 million euro price tag is steep. Pepe of Real Madrid is another alternative although the club would prefer the signing of a younger player.
