An Italian scout who has worked for Chelsea in the past says the Premier League club will make a summer offer for the midfielder Chelsea will make a �30 million offer for Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik in the summer, claims a former scout who worked on behalf of the Premier League club. Carlo Iacomuzzi, who was a transfer market observer for the west London side, has said they have plans to make a move for Hamsik, and it has been authorised by Roman Abramovich. Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, he said: "I watched Hamsik many times on behalf of Chelsea and I know that scouts have come to see him this year to see how he is getting on. "How much is he worth? This depends on the requests. But I would say that �30m is not enough for him because he can improve and has potential. "He can improve playing in a team of champions which has players like Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard. "Abramovich has a feeling for the deal and I am convinced Chelsea will make an official offer for Hamsik this year." Reports in Italy last month claimed Hamsik was in line for a contract extension with Napoli taking his deal to 2015.
