Inter Milan are reportedly willing to let Andre Onana join Chelsea in a swap deal, but have snubbed Kepa Arrizabalaga as they would prefer Trevor Chalobah or Ruben Loftus-Cheek, in return.
Inter are currently 6th in Serie A and are having a tough league campaign under Simone Inzaghi, However, their performances in cup competitions have been a saving grace for Nerazzurri supporters.
Fiorentina await Inter in the Coppa Italia final, after Inzaghi’s side conquered their fierece rivals, Juventus, in a thrilling semi final encounter.
Not only are they in the final of Coppa Italia, Inter will face their stadium-sharing rivals, AC Milan, in the Champions League semi-final. It will be the first time the two have met on the European stage for almost two decades and both club’s will be confident.
One man that has been pivotal to Inter’s UCL success, is goalkeeper, Andre Onana. The Cameroon shot-stopper has made 10 appearances in the competition this season and was MOTM in Inter’s round of 16 opening leg.

The £40m asking price may put off potential buyers, however, Chelsea have reportedly offered Kepa plus cash for the Cameroonian’s services.
Unfortunately for Blues fans, Inter have no interest in the world’s most expensive shot-stopper. Instead, reports indicate that the Serie A side are looking to sign either Trevoh Chalobah or Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Chalobah would be a replacement signing. as Milan Skriniar is set to join PSG, while the Blues’ powerful playmaker, Loftus-Cheek, would add more creativity to their midfield.
Given Chelsea’s recent transfer business, which has seen Todd Boehly spend over £500m since taking over from Roman Abrahmovic, a deal for Onana is likely. The 27-year-old keeper would be Chelsea’s third signing between the sticks in five years, with Kepa (£72m) and Edouard Mendy (£22m) failing to cement their place.
