Reports from Italy have claimed that Inter Milan are now keen on bringing in Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A side are hoping to sign the 33-year-old as part of a package that also sees Romelu Lukaku come back to the club.
Reports over the last few days have fuelled speculation that Azpilicueta’s decade long spell at Stamford Bridge could be set to come to an end.
Yesterday saw him linked with a move to Bayern Munich, with the interest stemming from the relationship he still has with former manager Thomas Tuchel.
He appears to have seen his spot as the deputy to Reece James taken too, with the January signing Malo Gusto now set to join the club ahead of next season.
Lukaku and Azpilicueta to Inter
Today, it has been claimed he is also on the list of Champions League finalists Inter for next season, with the plan being for him to join as part of a package that also sees Lukaku return.
The Belgian is not happy right now – he rarely has been since his move back to Stamford Bridge.
However, he seems to currently be irritated that the Blues won’t take a huge financial hit and loan out once again a player who until recently was their record signing.
This leaves the ball in Inter’s court over what to do, with the player already receiving lucrative proposals from Saudi Arabia to take his talents there.
The Serie A side are also reportedly interested in Trevoh Chalobah as a defensive signing, with it being claimed today that there have already been discussions between both parties.
The player himself has also refused to rule out a move to Italy, with his future very much up in the air right now.
