Inter are attempting to hijack Juventus’ proposed summer swoop for Lazio’s Giuliano Giannichedda.
The midfielder was expected to sign for the Bianconeri once his capital contract expired in June.
But reports now suggest that rivals Inter may be about to snatch the Italian from under their noses.
Nerazzurri boss Roberto Mancini knows the player well, after their time together in Rome, and has asked his club to make a late bid.
Inter chief Massimo Moratti is ready to meet his tactician’s demands, especially as the player is available on a free transfer.
Giannichedda, who will be 31 in September, is believed to be wanting a three-year deal worth £1m a season.
Both clubs are after new central midfielders given that Juve are likely to release Alessio Tacchinardi and Stephen Appiah, while Inter may sell Emre and Edgar Davids.
Meanwhile, Juve are also being associated with Real Madrid defensive midfielder Ivan Helguera.
