Inter and Chelsea are once again in the running for the same target in the transfer market. After the Giovanni Palestra case, both clubs have turned their attention to English defender John Stones, who is a free agent after the end of his contract with Manchester City.
The Blues see the 32-year-old as an experienced reinforcement for coach Kristian Kivu's defensive unit, but the player's high salary remains the main obstacle.
On the other hand, Chelsea seem ready to take advantage of the situation. According to the English media, coach Xavi Alonso is looking to add experience to the squad and Stones is one of the main names on the Londoners' list. However, he is not the only target, as Chelsea are also following Crystal Palace's Lacroix and Como's Jakob Ramón.
