Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has Athletic Bilbao coach Marcelo Bielsa in his sights.
Moratti made an attempt for the Argentine at the end of last season, but couldn't convince Athletic to release him from his contract.
Corriere dello Sport says Moratti's admiration for Bielsa has never wavered and he will try again towards the end of the season.
Those close to negotiations see the Inter president's move as destined for failure and are urging him to turn to sacked Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas before he is snapped up by someone else.
