Are Inter Milan planning on building a new Galacticos? Well, it certainly seems so. With Nemanja Vidic already set for the San Siro at the end of this season, and reports of the Nerazzurri also chasing Lukas Podolski, Bacary Sagna and Patrice Evra, it is now understood that the club are also wishful of landing Chelsea’s £50m forward Fernando Torres.

Reports in The Daily Mail have revealed that Inter, backed by their new owner, Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir, are considering making a £20m move for the former Liverpool man.

Torres, who will turn 30 later this month, is contracted to the west Londoners till 2016. However, the player has failed to showcase the same promise for the Blues, which he did for his former clubs Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. His failure to remain consistent in his performances had led to reports of him being on the verge of a sale last summer too. And now, with manager Jose Mourinho having been ‘privately outspoken’ in his criticism of his own forwards, the Spaniard seems to be edging closer to an exit.

Meanwhile, the 29 year old currently earns £150,000-a-week a week at Stamford Bridge, which may not be a figure that Thohir may wish to match. However, with Mourinho looking poised to add a high profile forward to his attacking third later in the year, the Spaniard may himself decide upon a move, which may in turn be the best possible course for his career now.

Football pundits meanwhile, are of the view that the Portuguese boss would first want to have assurances of a new forward (read: Radamel Falcao, Mario Balotelli, or Diego Costa) joining his team, before he agrees to part ways with Torres.
