Chelsea have been told they will have to pay £42million for midfielder Andre Gomes after making an approach for Valencia star.

Gomes, 22, impressed for Portugal in their 1-1 draw with Iceland on Tuesday night.

Chelsea have turned their attentions to him with Roma determined to keep another of the Blues’ targets, Radja Nainggolan. Chelsea have had a £27million offer rejected and Roma will now offer Nainggolan a new deal.

But Valencia have slapped a massive price tag on Gomes because his former club Benfica have a 25percent sell-on clause.

Valencia also want to claw back cash for their coach, Pako Ayestaran, to strengthen their squad.

Chelsea have stepped up their transfer activity with the club keen to make progress in time for the arrival of new coach Antonio Conte.

The Italian will join after his country’s involvement at the Euros. Everton will make a last-ditch to prevent Romelu Lukaku joining him at Stamford Bridge this summer by offering the striker a lucrative new deal.

Mirror Sport revealed earlier this year that 23-year-old Lukaku is up for a return to Chelsea, two years after being sold by the Blues for £28million.

Lukaku is understood to have “unfinished business” in London while Chelsea regret not being more patient with him.

New Everton boss Ronald Koeman has the backing of owner Farhad Moshiri in his battle to hold on to the striker but Chelsea are confident that he still wants to join them.

The deposed champions also expect to land Juventus and Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci after the Euros.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has emerged as a serious rival for the 29-year-old following Aymeric Laporte’s decision to sign a new deal with Athletic Bilbao.

But Bonucci has a good working relationship with Conte, for whom he has already impressed at Euro2016.
