Milan and Inter could turn to Jose Mourinho if the coach leaves Chelsea at the end of this season.
The Portuguese boss is reportedly set to quit the English Premier League champions in the summer after growing tension between himself and the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.
That was evident in midweek after the ex-Porto tactician lamented the fact that he would not be handed any new players during the January transfer market.
Now newspapers in England suggest that Mourinho has told both his agent and some close friends that he will depart England in May.
Cesar Peixoto, a former Porto player and a good friend of Mourinho, revealed to the Sun newspaper that the Coach is looking for a new home in Milan, which would confirm the links with both San Siro outfits.
Inter are favoured in the race to sign the former Barcelona translator and were already paired with him recently given that Roberto Mancini has yet to extend his contract which expires in June.
The Independent newspaper claims that Nerazzurri owner Massimo Moratti, who had initially contacted the tactician while he was in Portugal, is now willing to offer him a £5.2m contract.
Milan may also be interested in his unique services despite having confirmed their faith in Carlo Ancelotti.
However, the former Parma and Juventus boss may be shown the door if he fails to lead the side to Champions League football next season.
