Inter are one of four clubs with an interest in signing Chelsea central defender Antonio Rudiger according to a report from Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.com.

The German defender is also subject to interest from Inter’s fellow Serie A clubs AC Milan and Roma as well as La Liga side Barcelona.

As per a report from the online edition of British daily newspaper The Daily Mirror, Chelsea are prepared to let both Rudiger and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga leave the club in January in a bid to raise funds to sign top transfer target Declan Rice from West Ham United.

The report from The Daily Mirror explains that Chelsea are open to letting Rudiger and Kepa leave permanently or on loan.

Both Rudiger and Kepa have seen themselves slide down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge this season and with Chelsea seemingly open to letting Rudiger go, it could well make it easier for the mentioned clubs above to get a deal done.
