Inter are planning a move to bring Chelsea fullback Filipe Luis to the Serie A next season.
The 29-year-old Brazilian international joined the Blues from Atletico Madrid last summer, but has failed to displace Cesar Azpilecueta as Jose Mourinho’s first choice left-back, meaning he has had to be content with a place on the bench for most of the season.
Sport Mediaset report that Inter are ready to offer Filipe regular first-team football next season, and are preparing a loan offer for Chelsea to consider in the summer.
The loan will include an option to purchase the fullback permanently for €12 million next summer, and the Nerazzurri are confident of getting a deal done.
Filipe has only made 10 league starts for the Blues this season.
