Chelsea Ready To Test Inter Milan's Courage With Lautaro Martinez's Bid

Chelsea are ready to test Inter Milan's courage with a bid for Lautaro Martinez.

The Athletic says Chelsea have set their sights on Martinez ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been identified as an option to help bolster the Blues' attack, as manager Thomas Tuchel bids to add further forward firepower and build on a third-place finish last season as well as two domestic cup finals.

Alongside highly sought-after RB Leipzig hotshot Christopher Nkunku, Martinez is under consideration after the club's takeover was confirmed.

A move to Stamford Bridge would seemingly reunite him with ex-Inter striker partner Romelu Lukaku. However, reports from Italy claim that the Nerazzurri have made the Chelsea man - who recently split with his agent - their priority transfer target, meaning it could be a sliding doors moment as the pair swap employers.
