After splashing £33million on Michy Batshuayi and Diego Costa heavily linked back his club Atletico Madrid, Conte is shopping for another striker as a possible replacement.
A £63million bid had already been rejected for Alvaro Morata by Real Madrid while Everton striker, Romelu Lukaku is another option for the Blues’ attack.
Despite Zlatan Ibrahimovich’s departure from the French capital leaving Cavani to fill the void, the Uruguayan is reported to have said he wants a new challenge away from Ligue 1.

Chelsea have allegedly made a £41.5m bid for Cavani, but claimed PSG have told them to cough out a whopping £66.5m instead.
If Conte returns with a higher offer, there are possibilities that the French Champions will have no choice than to let go and Costa will surely be making a return to Atletico Madrid.

Cavani in the past had been chased by top clubs in the transfer window including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
However the striker’s agent stated in May that staying in the French capital is the most likely option for his client.
“I do not think that it is at all possible to quit PSG.
“After the departure of Ibrahimovic, PSG want to keep their existing squad and reinforce in order to win the Champions League. PSG cannot lose two strikers,” he said.
