Inter have joined Como in tracking Chelsea and England defender Trevoh Chalobah, because negotiations with Udinese for Oumar Solet have stalled.
The Nerazzurri’s summer has so far been one of bitter disappointment, as they keep being priced out of players following weeks or even months of confident negotiations.
They lost Marco Palestra to Chelsea, look to be backing away from Liverpool’s Curtis Jones, and now Solet is increasingly unlikely to arrive.
Chalobah next on Inter list

The defender agreed personal terms, but Udinese want at least €25m and so far Inter do not seem prepared to pay that for someone who is also an Atletico Madrid target.
Multiple sources including transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano therefore suggest that Inter are now turning towards Chalobah, who was already on the radar for Serie A side Como.

The centre-back turns 27 next month and seems to be linked with a Serie A move every few months, though it never materialises.
A Chelsea youth academy product with several loan experiences under his belt, his salary is reported to be just €1.6m per season, but the cost of the fee is still considered too high for both clubs.
His profile might be rising too, because due to a Reece James injury, Chalobah is expected to start for England in tonight’s World Cup match against Panama.
