Inter Milan kept a close eye on Atletico Madrid defender Jose Gimenez while he played against Chelsea in the Champions League, and are reportedly looking to beat Arsenal to his signature.

Gimenez is out of contract in the summer and could be a target of several clubs, including Arsenal. However, it seems Inter Milan are looking to get ahead of the competition.

According to Corriere dello Sport, their sporting director, Piero Ausilio, was at Stamford Bridge to watch the Uruguayan in action against Chelsea.

Atletico are trying to tie him down to a new long-term contract, and have been giving him more first-team appearances this season to convince him to stay.

“Arda Turan is one of the important players of our team,” Bartomeu told Fanatik. “Obviously I want him to continue his sports career here, with us. Now he was inactive because of an injury, but he is already in better shape.

“We will see what happens when he is fully recovered and ready for his coach. We have not received any official offer from Galatasaray or any other club for Arda Turan. The future of Arda Turan is in his hands. It will be him who will ultimately decide his destiny.”

Regarding the Nzonzi case, the player told FranceFootball during an interview that he is leaving Sevilla in January & that there is 1 month left before his departure. His next destination is unknown
