Torino in talks but Chelsea ´remain a dream´ for Giaccherini

Italy international Emanuele Giaccherini would relish the chance to reunite with Antonio Conte at Chelsea, according to the player s agent.

The 31-year-old excelled for Italy in their run to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, where they were beaten by Germany on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Giaccherini impressed during a loan spell with Bologna last season after falling out of favour with Premier League side Sunderland, for whom he has made just 11 appearances since the start of the 2014-15 campaign.

The midfielder s agent, Furio Valcareggi, says Torino have enquired about a potential deal, while Fiorentina and Bologna remain interested, but the prospect of joining Conte s revolution at Chelsea would be tough to turn down.

Do we have an agreement with the Granata [Torino]? Not at this time, Valcareggi told GazzaMercato. There has been contact made and there is interest.

Torino inquired about the costs and requirements of a possible deal, now we are both reflecting. But it is the same for Fiorentina and Bologna, who are assessing the situation before moving forward.

Chelsea remain a dream.

Conte takes charge of Chelsea this month after two years as Italy head coach.
