Antonio Conte is interested in signing Roma star Miralem Pjanic for Chelsea, according to Sky sources.
Newspaper reports claimed the Bosnia-Herzegovina international had flown to London on Tuesday to discuss a move to Stamford Bridge, but Sky in Italy said he was only on holiday in England.
The 26-year-old, who has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs, reportedly has a buy-out clause of over £30m in his Roma contract.
Pjanic has scored 12 goals in 43 games this season for Roma, who lie third in the Serie A table after last weekend's 4-1 win in the derby against Lazio.
The midfielder has been plying his trade at Roma since 2011 after moving from Lyon.
