Luciano Spalletti wouldn’t rule out Antonio Candreva to Chelsea, but joked he “fell for” rumours linking Inter with Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez.
The new Coach spoke at a Press conference and was asked about today’s reports Candreva is heading to Chelsea for €27m.
“My position is to keep him and the club agrees with me, for now he has not shown any other signals. We go forward calmly, then I don’t know what could happen tomorrow.

“As far as I can tell, Chelsea could try to do something. You are the ones who always anticipate these situations, so I should ask you,” Spalletti told the reporters.
“You are very good at writing names in the papers and getting people swept up in it. I had fallen for it too this time, when you talked about Vidal and Sanchez, I was there staring at the gate to see if they’d walk in. Then I pinched myself.
“The truth is, I am happy with what I’ve got. I wanted to the Coach of Inter, four or five players have left and as many came in.
“Naturally, if you can get world class players, it provides an advantage because they are immediately ready to give results, but when you have great players who are just about to become world class, it depends on communication and how ready they are.”
