Chelsea and Inter Milan will battle it out for Porto midfielder Fernando, according to reportings.
Italian media suggest Porto are considering making the 24-year old available in the January transfer window with the club looking for around £10 million.
Chelsea have been linked with the combative midfielder, with Andre Villas-Boas keen to strengthen his defensive midfield options due to the long term fitness worries over Michael Essien, and Fernando remains a possibility for the west London outfit.
However, the Blues will face stiff competition from Italian giants Inter Milan who are also monitoring his situation.
