Inter made their first offer to try and prise Rafael Benitez away from Liverpool at the weekend, according to a report from The Sun.
The Nerazzurri are seeking a successor to Jose Mourinho, who was introduced to the press as the new Real Madrid coach on Monday evening.
The club has been heavily linked with a move for England boss Fabio Capello once the World Cup is over.
However, The Sun intimates that that ploy has been little more than a smokescreen to distract observers from the real object of their pursuit.
The Italians apparently fear though that Benitez will still turn down the chance to coach at the San Siro, and double his £4.5 million a year Anfield salary, because the pressure of succeeding a highly successful coach like Mourinho is just too great and will make the job too difficult.
