Chelsea are reportedly on the brink of signing Gonzalo Higuain on loan in a deal that will see Alvaro Morata head to Italy.
Chelsea have been strongly linked with a move for AC Milan forward Higuain, who is currently on loan from Juventus, for some time.
Chelsea transfer chief Marina Granovskaia has reportedly been in charge of negotiations over a deal with Milan sporting director Leonardo.
And talks appear to have gone well with Italian publication Sports MediaSet claim Higuain’s departure is now ‘inevitable’ with the final details of the deal all but ‘agreed’.
Higuain now looks set to move on a six-month loan deal to west London which could be extended depending on his performances in the second half of the season.
The Argentine is still under contract with Juve though and the Serie A champions still need to agree to the proposed January deal.
With Higuain coming in, Morata looks set to head in the opposite direction but on an 18-month loan to the San Siro.
