# Inter ready to spend big on Chelsea target Chiesa

Long-term Chelsea target Federico Chiesa tops Inter Milan’s January transfer window wish list, according to claims from the Italian media.

It’s reported by La Nazione, as cited by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-pronto-l-assalto-a-chiesa-27162), that the Serie A giants have lined up the winger as their number one target as they look to strengthen their pool of attacking options.

Chiesa has long been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge and in September, it was [reported](https://readchelsea.com/2018/09/17/chelsea-in-pole-position-to-land-chiesa-in-january-window/) that the Blues were in ‘pole position’ to recruit the Italy international in January.

Nevertheless, it seems they will face competition in their pursuit of the Fiorentina star if they are to secure a deal, with Inter lurking.

According to the claims from Italy, Luciano Spalletti and his men at Inter are prepared to break the bank as they look to tempt Chiesa away from his current club.

La Nazione’s report indicates that Inter are willing to part with a mammoth sum of €70 million as they aim to convince Fiorentina into selling their prized asset.
