Inter Milan target Chelsea defender

Inter Milan want to start rebuilding their squad with move for Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa.

The Portuguese was a second-half substitute in the win over Barcelona on Wednesday night but he has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and is out of contract in the summer.

Negotiations between Bosingwa and the west London side have opened but they do not appear to be any closer to coming to an agreement and Inter Milan are aware of the impasse.

Inter's current right-back Maicon, 30, looks set to leave in the summer and the Serie A giants see Bosingwa, who is a year younger, as a capable replacement.

The only stumbling block in a prospective deal is Bosingwa's wage demands which will be considerable as he will be a free signing.
