According to reports in the Corriere della Sera, Inter are to make a summer move for Chelsea target Antonio Rudiger. The journal suggests that the Nerazzurri have now dropped their interest in the German international’s Roma team-mate Kostas Manolas who they believe will cost too much, to concentrate full on trying to bring the 24-year-old to the San Siro.
 

The big German has been on the radar of Chelsea boss Antonio Conte for some time now but reports state that Inter chiefs met with the player in a Rome restaurant on Sunday evening after their match against Lazio.
