Chelsea are reportedly preparing to rekindle their interest in Roma midfielder Roberto Kone when the January transfer window reopens. However, this time the Blues may face competition from Liverpool, who are also looking to strengthen their midfield.

The report states that Kone received a €60 million offer from Chelsea at the end of August, but it was quickly rejected. The French international performed brilliantly at this summer's World Cup and has a contract with Roma until June 2029.
