Inter Milan will demand €60m (£52m) for Chelsea target Andre Onana, according to reports.
The Cameroon international is one of the goalkeepers that the Blues have shortlisted as they search for a new number one but most fans on Twitter would like the club to move on to other options if Inter don’t drop their valuation:
60 million for Onana is ridiculous

Inter think they are always wise to rob us of more cash

I would rather pay a 10m extra and just buy Maignan.

Onana was available on a free transfer last year
You do feel that €60m is a bit excessive, considering that Inter picked up the 27-year-old on a free just twelve months ago.
Onana is undoubtedly a very accomplished keeper but there are a number of other targets, such as David Raya, who would be available for a much lower amount.
A crunch meeting between Chelsea and Inter officials
It has been widely reported that representatives from the two clubs will have face-to-face talks after the Champions League final this weekend.
The main topic of conversation is expected to be the future of Romelu Lukaku but other players, including Onana, are likely to be discussed as well.
It will be interesting to see what comes out of the meeting. There could be scope for potential swap deals or loan agreements.
In Onana’s specific case, though, you would have to think that, if Inter are unwilling to compromise on their current asking price, then Chelsea will quickly move on to alternative targets.
