Inter are expected to step up their pursuit of Diego Simeone after Atletico Madrid’s Champions League humiliation at the hands of Real Madrid.
Tonight’s semi-final at the Bernabeu was one-way traffic, as Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a hat-trick in the 3-0 triumph.
Cholo had already been regularly linked with a move to San Siro, having won the UEFA Cup there as a player during his stay from 1996-99.

Simeone had insisted recently that he would stay with Atletico Madrid long enough to debut their new stadium next season.
However, this evening’s capitulation rounds off a generally poor campaign for the Colchoneros.
If the Argentine is tempted to walk away this summer, then Inter would be prepared to offer him a massive salary along with sweeping powers over transfer strategy.
Simeone is very familiar with Italian football, both as a player at Pisa, Inter and Lazio, then as a Coach for Catania in 2011.
Current Inter boss Stefano Pioli is not expected to remain past the end of this season, especially if they fail to qualify for Europe.
