Adriano plus £10m cash could be used to prise Frank Lampard away from Chelsea, according to reports in Brazil.

Inter have a deal with the England midfielder, but his club are refusing to enter negotiations over a £7m move, warning he may be forced to sit out the remaining year of his contract even if that means losing him on a free transfer.

Now O Globo says a new agreement is close which would see Adriano go in the opposite direction.
