Inter are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Santos defender Lucas Verissimo according to a report from Brazilian news outlet Globo Esporte.

Atalanta and Chelsea are both also interested in signing the central defender, who will not be allowed to leave the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side for anything less than €10 million.

Sampdoria are also seemingly interested in him but have not made an official offer and Santos do not want to do business with La Samp due to the fact the Blucerchiati still owe them money for the transfer of Kaique Rocha.

Santos are understood to be considering selling players to mitigate the financial crisis caused by the global Coronavirus crisis.

In addition to Verissimo, highly rated striker Kaio Jorge may aslo be allowed to leave the club. There are many clubs interested in the young Brazilian forward and Santos want at least €30 million for him.

Although no teams are specifically mentioned in this report with regard to being interested in Kaio Jorge, reports in the media in recent months have suggested that Inter have an interest in signing him.
