Thorir is keeping tabs on players from Man City and Real Madrid as well.
New Inter Milan owner Erick Thorir is keen to revamp the squad this summer and has revealed the wishlist the club have of prospective transfers.
Of the names mentioned three are from the Premier League, with Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna, Fernando Torres of Chelsea and Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko making up the trio.

Real Madrid youngster Alvaro Morata completes the list of targets – a player whom the Gunners have also shown interest in – and it looks like it could be a busy few months at the San Siro.
“I too hear these names. Maybe one of them will really arrive. But he must respect our salary parameters,” Thorir was quoted by Soccerway.
“I’m not used to making announcements if there is not a signed contract.
“I can only say that we like Sagna and that at this point it all depends on him. If he does not arrive, we will take a younger right-back.”
The Frenchman’s current contract at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of this season and despite several bouts of negotiations, the Gunners and the 31-year-old have failed to agree an extension.
This is because of a difference of opinions based on wages and the length of the new deal and Inter would have to better the north Londoners to secure Sagna.
As for Dzeko and Torres, both are likely to be allowed to leave their respective clubs as both City and the Blues look to make new marquee signings.
Finally Morata, who has been impressing at Madrid in recent years and is the subject of interest from Arsene Wenger, is looking to gain more first team football away from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
