Chelsea target Vlad Chiriches could move to Inter Milan revealed Gigi Becali, chief of Romanian club, Steaua Bucharest. According to Skysports, the 23 year old defender could make a move to Inter Milan by the end of January transfer window, if they receive a fee in the region of £8.5 million.

Gigi Becali told Romanian TV station DigiSport, “"I'm prepared to let him go to Inter because Victor Becali (the player's agent) has promised that they would have first option on him."If they give me 10 million Euros for the player, I'll let him go right now, seriously."

Sky Sports claim that Chelsea is believed to have expressed an early interest in the Romanian, but no official bid has been made by the West London side. AC Milan and Lyon are also interested in signing Vlad Chiriches.

Who is Vlad Chiriches?

Vlad moved to FC International Curtea de Arges, back in 2007/08 and managed to earn 15 appearances for the Romanian side and later moved to Pandurili Targu Jiu. Chiriches joined Steaua Bukarest during last January transfer window for less than a million pound. He has made 41 appearances for Steaua Bukarest and scored two goals for them. He is considered as one of the best young center backs in Romanian league, because of his awareness and precise marking skills. He is not the strongest defender you can buy, but a decent purchase for a decent amount. He can also function as a right back or a defensive midfielder.

Is he a good buy for Chelsea?

Chelsea is not in an immediate need of a defender and they already have four senior defenders in their squad. We also have talented youngsters in our squad, so missing out on Vlad Chiriches won’t affect Chelsea at all..!
