Inter Milan are looking to speed up their contract renewal negotiations with Simone Inzaghi with Chelsea and Manchester United lurking.
The Nerazzurri appointed the 47-year-old as head coach following the departure of Antonio Conte in the summer of 2021.
The Piacenza native has already collected five trophies during his time at San Siro. He won the Coppa Italia twice and the Italian Super Cup on three occasions.
While the Scudetto title eluded him in the two previous campaigns, Inzaghi is eager to rectify the situation this term. His team is storming towards the club’s 20th league title.
Moreover, the empathic fashion in which the Nerazzurri have been dismantling their opponents has earned the manager lavish praise from Italy and abroad.
According to Tuttosport via FcInterNews, Man Utd have now entered the fray for Inzaghi.
The Red Devils reportedly consider the Inter manager as a possible candidate in case they split paths with Erik ten Hag.
The Turin-based newspaper also names Chelsea as another Premier League suitor that has been keeping tabs on the Italian coach.
Therefore, the source believes that the Inter directors realized that they must accelerate their contract talks with Inzaghi.

The former Lazio boss extended his deal with the club last summer, pushing back the deadline to June 2025.
Nevertheless, the hierarch feels they need to tie down Inzaghi to a longer contract to repel an onslaught from the EPL.
The 47-year-old currently earns 5.5 million euros per year. But the Nerazzurri are aware that his English suitors would be willing to offer figures that could exceed 9 million.
Inter are currently leading the Serie A standings by 12 points. In Europe, they currently have a slim 1-0 advantage over Atletico Madrid after the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16.
