Inter Milan have refused to comment on reports they are planning to offer Chelsea boss Antonio Conte a deal to replace the sacked Stefano Pioli.

Reports in Italy say the Chinese-backed Serie A club are prepared to offer Conte £250,000 a week if he leaves Chelsea after one season.

Pioli was sacked on Tuesday after six months as head coach.

The 51-year-old replaced Frank de Boer in November, signing a contract until the end of June 2018.

Former Italy boss Conte, 47, also managed Inter’s rivals Juventus from 2011 to 2014.
