The target of the Italian champions is 23-year-old Christopher Samba, who only moved to Ewood Park last season from in a bargain £400,000 transfer from German side Hertha Berlin.
The Congo international – born in France – has won many admirers since moving to England due to a string of impressive performances, and Mark Hughes would be reluctant to lose him.
However, Inter are believed to be huge fans of Samba, and will test the water at the Lancashire club by offering a fee of around £5million for the player when the transfer window reopens.
