According to Italian reports, the Premier League side sent scouts on several occasions to view Samp supersub Schick, who has scored more goals off the bench this season than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.
The 21-year-old already has one goal in three senior caps for the Czech Republic and is a confirmed transfer target for Inter.
The Sun notes another option is his cross-city rival Simeone, the son of Atletico Madrid Coach Diego Simeone.
Cholito is in his first Serie A season and scored 11 goals in 27 competitive games for Genoa.
However, the 21-year-old has not found the net since the end of January, firing blanks in his last six appearances.
