Chelsea are interested in Zenit St Petersburg defender Ezequiel Garay.
Sky Italia says Chelsea and Inter Milan are keen to tempt Garay away from Zenit this summer.
It's suggested Inter are trailing Chelsea in the battle for the Argentine, with Zenit's asking price of €10 million deemed too rich by the Italians.
Incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has made it clear he wants a new centre-half signing this summer.
