From the source
Wednesday’s reports claim that Inter are interested in a future deal for VfB Stuttgart and Germany U21s defender Finn Jeltsch, but that the Nerazzurri will face stiff competition from a number of Europe’s biggest clubs including Barcelona.
According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Inter have sent scouts to watch the 20-year-old Jeltsch in action on several occasions over the last year. It has been claimed that the Nerazzurri have also spoken to the defender’s agents and representatives multiple times.
Jeltsch plays at centre-back in a back four for Stuttgart, but Inter feel that he would be equally as capable playing either in the middle or on the right hand side of Cristian Chivu’s back three.
