Juventus and Inter Milan are reportedly ready to battle for the signature of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
The 22-year-old has flourished on loan at Crystal Palace under Patrick Vieira this season, scoring eight goals and setting up five more in 29 matches across all tournaments.
Gallagher is expected to be integrated into Chelsea's first team for the 2022-23 season, but the uncertainty surrounding the club's ownership has supposedly attracted the attention of teams from elsewhere.
According to The Sun, Juventus and Inter Milan are both keeping tabs on the midfielder's situation after sending scouts to watch him during Palace's clash with Manchester City last week.
The report claims that Palace have not conceded defeat in the race to sign Gallagher permanently, but they are unlikely to be able to battle with Champions League clubs financially.
The likes of Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos and Rangers' Joe Aribo have been touted as possible replacements for Gallagher at Palace, and the England international's deal at Chelsea does not expire until 2025.
