Igli Tare, the Serie A club's sporting director, was in London to negotiate potential deals for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Emerson Palmieri, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek when he received word from the Blues that Milinkovic-Savic is a target.
Manchester United have been heavily connected with the Serbian international in recent months, but his €80 million (£69 million) asking price has deterred potential bidders.
Corriere Dello Sport claim Chelsea told Tare that they are not in a position to make an offer for Milinkovic-Savic yet as they are looking to make some sales first, including Romelu Lukaku.
It is, therefore, likely that a move for Milinkovic-Savic could be revisited later in the summer. Whether there will be an actual formal bid from the Blues at any stage, though, we shall have to wait and see.
