Inter Milan are considering a possible move for Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Italian side are looking to increase their attacking options as Romelu Lukaku’s loan deal from Chelsea will come to an end at the end of the season.
According La Gazzetta dello SportAubameyang is one of the players that Inter is watching.
Aubameyang began his career as a youth at Inter’s rivals AC Milan, although he did not make a competitive appearance for them.
The former Gabon international joined Chelsea in September last year, but his spell at Stamford Bridge has not gone according to plan so far.

Aubameyang has scored just once in 12 league appearances and has found it difficult to control regular playing time since Graham Potter took over.
The 33-year-old could be made available on a free transfer and Chelsea are reportedly considering terminating his contract this summer.
The Blues were left angry after Aubameyang’s recent trip to support his former club Barcelona in El Clásico against Real Madrid.

Roberto Firmino, who is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, is another possible solution to fill the potential attacking void at Inter.
Lukaku scored a hat-trick in Belgium’s 3-0 win over Sweden, but his long-term future at Inter is uncertain.
Aubameyang has had a long career that has included stints at Saint-Etienne, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Barcelona.
Although his contract with Chelsea expires at the end of June 2024, it seems likely that the Blues will try to dispose of him before then.
