Jose Mourinho could offer Inter Milan veteran Javier Zanetti a one-year playing deal.
The Argentine, who turns 41 in the summer, captained the Inter Milan team which tasted Champions League glory under Mourinho's tenure in 2010.
And it is understood the Chelsea boss is ready to offer Zanetti a short-term deal with the chance to move into coaching at Stamford Bridge.

Zanetti has been at Inter Milan for the past two decades, but his current deal expires at the end of the season.
He is understood to be interested in remaining in Italy but Mourinho could pounce if the veteran is unable to secure a new deal with the Serie A giants.
Meanwhile, Nemanja Vidic looks set to sign for Inter at the end of the season after the Italian club's president claimed the deal is '90 per cent' done.
