Napoli forward Dries Mertens has, according to Tuttosport, yet to decide his own future and could still end up outside of Italy.
The newspaper claims the Belgium international could be tempted to sign a two-year deal, with an option of a third, worth €5m a season at Inter, but the thought of moving to a direct rival has allegedly stalled the process.
He might stay put at the Partenopei, but the report claims Premier League side Chelsea are the third option for the joint all-time leading goalscorer at Napoli.
