Inter Milan are planning to make another bid to sign attacking midfielder Oscar next year.

Oscar has dropped behind Nemanja Matic, N'Golo Kante, Pedro and Willian in the pecking order under new manager Antonio Conte, who has switched to a 3-4-3 formation.

The Brazil international hasn't started a League game for two months and is unlikely to get back into the first XI unless there is an injury.

Chelsea beat Inter Milan to his signature in 2012 when they paid Internacional a transfer fee of £25m.

Inter tried to buy him again in the summer only for Conte to have a late change of heart and decide to keep him.

But Inter are optimistic that Chelsea will be prepared to listen to offers in the new year, although they accept a summer move is more likely than a January switch.

Oscar's current contract expires in 2019 and Chelsea won't be tempted to sell unless the Serie A side offer the £25m they paid at the very least.

Cesc Fabregas is also facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. The Spain midfielder has started just one League game all season and is being targeted by a number of clubs, even though he insists he wants to stay at Chelsea.

MLS side LA Galaxy are the latest to show an interest. Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is expected to leave and free up one of the three spots reserved on the roster for a designated player, who are paid significantly more than the rest of the squad.
