The Italian club are ready to pay the £20m transfer fee that the Blues would demand for the 29-year-old striker.
It has been reported that Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho wants to add a world-class striker to his squad for next season, with Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa and Monaco’s Radamel Falcao among his targets.
However, the Premier League outfit would need to sell to make a big-money signing, and they want to raise funds by offloading Torres to Inter.
Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool for £50m in January 2011 on a contract that runs out in June 2016.
