Palestra contract length revealed as Chelsea plan medical

Marco Palestra will sign a six-year contract at Chelsea, writes Dom Smith.

Chelsea are very close to finalising a deal to sign the Atalanta defender for a package of around ÂŁ45million.

Inter Milan were frontrunners to sign the 21-year-old but the Premier League side hijacked the deal and moved at pace to reach an agreement with Atalanta, convincing the player to come to the capital.

The Serie A side could not match the offer nor wages being offered to the player by Chelsea, even through Palestra will fit into the club’s bonus-incentivised wage structure. The move is now almost done.
