Inter Milan director Piero Ausilio has confirmed that the club are interested in signing Premier League duo Edin Dzeko and Fernando Torres.
The Italian side have been dominating the headlines in recent weeks after new president Erick Thohir confirmed that he wants to sign several new faces in order to bring the glory days back to the San Siro, and after securing Nemanja Vidic from Manchester United, they are now working on the rest of the team.
Milan have been linked with moves for Patrice Evra and Bacary Sagna, but Thohir ruled out the latter and according to the director, their attentions have now turned to attackers as they look at City’s third-choice and Chelsea’s first-team regular.
Dzeko and Torres both could be set to leave their respective clubs in the Summer, and Ausilio has confirmed their interest, but has also admitted that wages may be a stumbling block in the move.
He told Sky Sports Italia: “Aside from the names, I think it’s obvious we are working in that direction for that role.
“It’s true we cannot target players whose wages are too high, but in football there are often other resources.
“We’ll put a little bit of creativity and ingenious thought into it.
“We want to build a team that takes into account the economic parameters we’ve been set.
“This year was very useful working with the coach and it will be a great resource for next season. I am convinced of that.”
