Biancoceleste Want Chelsea Defender ...
The Corriere dello Sport claims that Lazio are readying a January swoop for Branislav Ivanovic, as club president Claudio Lotito has promised the fans one "big signing" during the winter.
Ivanovic arrived at Chelsea in January this year, after Roman Abramovich forked out over €13 million to land him from Lokomotiv Moscow.
However, the highly rated Serb has found opportunities scarce at Stamford Bridge, as he is stuck behind John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Alex in the pecking order for the centre-back slots.
The 24-year-old is also accomplished as a full-back and defensive midfielder, but the good form of Jose Bosingwa, Ashley Cole, Wayne Bridge and John Obi Mikel has meant his versatility has not been utilised by Luiz Felipe Scolari.
AC Milan and Juventus were linked with Ivanovic during the summer, and it would be no surprise if they rekindled their interest in the big Blue.
