Inter and AC Milan have shown an interest in Frank Lampard after
learning the England midfielder can leave Chelsea for £8m in the
summer.
Lampard, 28, has yet to sign a new contract and could walk away
from the Blues under a little-known Fifa rule.
AC Milan's general director Ariedo Braida told the Mail on Sunday:
"Is this true? Lampard for £8m? If this is the case it is very
interesting news."
The newspaper also claimed Inter coach Roberto Mancini is keen on
Lampard.
The Fifa rule states that players who have served three years of a
contract they signed before the age of 28 can buy themselves out -
as long as they give 15 days' notice.
And Lampard's agent Steve Kutner recently said that talks between
the player and Chelsea on extending the former West Ham star's
career at Stamford Bridge are only at the preliminary stage.
That has already alerted the likes of Spanish giants Barcelona and
Real Madrid but the two big guns from Milan have now come into the
equation.
Braida said: "Lampard is a very good player, one of the best
around, and this situation is something I wasn't aware of at
all."
