Inter Milan are seeking talks with Chelsea for Andreas Christensen.
Tuttosport says Inter want to take the Dane on-loan for the new season.
Christensen is one among five centre-halves at Chelsea, having returned for preseason after two years away with Borussia Monchengladbach.
Inter want to take the defender on-loan for 12 months with the view to a permanent deal for €20-25m.
However, Chelsea are reluctant to part with the youngster, having rejected a €17m offer from Gladbach at the end of last season.
