Chelsea and Barca on alert as Pirlo prepares for Milan exit

Chelsea and Barcelona have shown interest in signing Andrea Pirlo, who could be available at a cut-back price in January seeing his contract runs out at the end of the season.

Reports from Italy suggest Andrea Pirlo could opt against extending his Milan deal which expires in June and that has alerted a number of interested clubs.

Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani said that the club were doing their best to reach an agreement with the midfielder over the new deal, but as the time goes by, Pirlo is more likely to leave the Rossoneri.

Carlo Ancelotti is eager to be reunited with the Italy international at Chelsea after coaching him at Milan, and this could be the great chance for the Blues to reinforce their midfield area with a world-class player.

Barcelona are also keeping tabs on Pirlo, with Pep Guardiola very keen on the Italy midfielder.
