The agent of Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien has opened the door to a move to Italy this month.
Fabien Piveteau has confirmed Essien will leave Stamford Bridge during the winter market.
He told TMW: "He will leave Chelsea. He wants to play more and after an interview with José Mourinho has taken this decision."
"I can exclude Bastia, he will not go there."
Italy may be a realistic goal?
"Yes, the league is important and therefore I do not rule out Serie A, although I must say that at this time there are no contacts.
"We have so far preferred not to listen to any request until meeting with Mourinho."
