Atletico Madrid convinced Chelsea have won Pirlo race
Chelsea are closing in on AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo.
The London Evening Standard says the 30-year-old is also wanted by Atletico Madrid but reports in Spain say the club have pulled out of the race because they believe he is going to Stamford Bridge.
Only last week, Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti hinted a deal for Pirlo could be struck, if they were prepared to be patient.
