The Italian manager wants a star centre-forward and is looking to replace striker Diego Costa for next season. According to the Times, the English club will be considering a move for Liverpool striker Christian Benteke if they fail to pen a deal with Everton footballer Romelu Lukaku.
Benteke failed to impress Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool fans after a disappointing season. The 25-year-old made 14 appearances and netted nine goals for the Reds.
Chelsea has reportedly considered a £32.5million deal for Benteke and the supporters of the English side have reacted in the worst possible way to this rumor, linking the former Aston Villa player to Stamford Bridge.
Will tie weights to my ankles and jump in the sea if Chelsea sign Benteke.

If we sign Benteke I'm retiring as a football fan

After being linked with Lukaku and Higuain for the last few weeks the last thing I want to see is us signing Benteke.

Omg, have just woke up to the news we might be pursuing Benteke if this happens I'm done

Conte please not Benteke, we need a serious forward not a robot like him.

Benteke is expected to star for Belgium in the anticipated Euro 2016. He has made seven appearances for The Red Devils. The Belgians will begin their adventure against Italy on June 13.
