Unsettled: Inter Milan’s Fredy Guarin (Picture: AP)

Inter Milan admit Chelsea target Fredy Guarin has had his head turned by attention from abroad, and will likely leave the club this January.

The Columbian midfielder has been heavily linked with a £14million move to the Blues, while Southampton have also been accredited with a firm interest.

Now Inter president Erick Thohir admits keeping the 27-year-old has become increasingly difficult for the Serie A side.

‘Guarin is a great player, I like him a lot. We would obviously love to keep him, but the situation in Europe is not like in Indonesia,’ he said.


‘When there are great offers from big clubs, we have to take them into account. And above all, we can’t make a player stay when his heart is not in it, but at another club.’
