Serie A giants Inter Milan have reportedly rejected an offer from Chelsea for their goalkeeper Andre Onana.
This is according to Sportsmail, which reports that the San Siro side has shut down discussions with Chelsea over the availability of Onana, at least until after their Champions League final game.
The Italian side are set to bid for their first Champions League title in 13 years as they take on Manchester City in Istanbul on Saturday and do not want any distractions now.

Chelsea are interested in a new goalkeeper this summer and see the 27-year-old as the perfect player. According to reports, new manager Mauricio Pochettino has given the club the green light to sign the former Ajax goalkeeper.
Moreover, reports in Italy via TuttoMercatoWeb claim that Todd Boehly’s side ‘have had a £40million offer for the goalkeeper rejected’.
According to the Italian outlet, Onana ‘would like to join the Premier League team’ and ‘has already agreed in principle with the Blues. Therefore, the deal now hinges on whether an arrangement can be struck between the two clubs.
There are suggestions that the deal to sign Onana could also include Romelu Lukakau, who moved back to Inter last summer on a loan move. The Belgian wants to remain in San Siro and could be used as bait to sign Onana this summer.
