Report – Inter Milan Executives Scout Chelsea Midfielder & Atletico Madrid Defender In Champions League Action | OneFootball

Inter Milan executives Dario Baccin and Piero Ausilio scouted Chelsea’s Andrey Santos and Atletico Madrid’s Jose Maria Gimenez in midweek.

According to FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri chiefs were in London on Tuesday and Wednesday to gather information about several players.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was perhaps the main reason for their scouting mission.

Indeed, the Serie A giants have identified the 29-year-old as a top candidate to replace the departing Yann Sommer.

However, Ausilio and Baccin also used the trip to monitor other potential targets.

Inter Milan Scouted Andrey Santos & Jose Maria Gimenez During Midweek Champions League Action

Baccin and Ausilio were at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea’s dismal 3-0 home loss to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

According to the report, they were in the stands to scout Andrey Santos, who has failed to secure regular first-team action in West London.

Yesterday, they were at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, Vicario wasn’t the only reason for their visit.

Instead, they were reportedly keeping a close eye on Atletico Madrid center-back Jose Maria Gimenez.

Widely considered as one of the world’s toughest defenders, the 31-year-old has two more years left to run on his contract in Madrid.
