Real offered Benzema, Chelsea targets to Inter in summit
Don Balon claim that Florentino Perez wasn’t so interested in selling James to Inter, but offered some alternatives, which included Karim Benzema, Isco and Alvaro Morata.
The latter two have been pursued by Chelsea, with Morata in particular appreciated by new Coach Antonio Conte.
