The 22-year-old highly rated forward has netted 21 goals in 44 games for the Italian side so far this term. He has been link with several top European sides.
The Argentinian has three years left on his current Inter Milan contract but his performances this season are likely to make him move to a better European club.
Chelsea are well aware of their next season striking issues, Didier Drogba will retire at the end of the season and Loic Remy will leave Stamford Bridge. While Diego Costa will remain the only senior forward at Stamford Bridge. Boss Jose Mourinho is keen to strengthen his side further with the signature of young Icardi.
The Blues are planning to beat Arsenal and Manchester United by splashing £22million on the 22-year-old striker.
However, Icardi might not get a regular chance at the Blues especially due to the presence of Diego Costa. But the striker will still be keen on a move.
