Antonio Conte's agent Federico Pastorello has revealed his plans to contact Inter Milan about Antonio Candreva.

Pastorello admits that Chelsea attempted to sign the Italian in January, but was knocked back by Inter's new owners.

Conte viewed Candreva as a direct replacement for Oscar, who departed for China in the same month.

And Pastorello hopes he can renew the Blues' interest this summer by contacting the Serie A club.

"This past January, Chelsea wanted to sign Candreva. They needed a replacement for Oscar and Antonio would have been a good one," Pastorello told Rai Sport.

"However, he had just joined Inter and [owners] Suning do not want to sell their best players. I don't know if he'll stay, I'll talk to [directors] Ausilio and Sabatini."
