Inter Milan are keen to rope in Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic next summer.
The Serbian international, whose present contract with Chelsea runs until next summer, has come in for criticism from some corners this season, owing to his poor form.
However, the prospect of signing Ivanovic on a free transfer next summer is tempting the Italian giants.
Inter Milan, who are currently second in Serie A on goal difference, sent scouts to watch the right-back in action during the Blues’ Champions League encounter with Dynamo Kiev earlier in the week.
And according to Italian daily Tuttosport, cited by FC Inter News, the Nerazzurri are keen to snap up the Serbian next summer.
