London club is ready to say goodbye to Michael Essien in order to attract Milan star Wesley Sneijder.

According to the Italian press, the English vice-champions could offer not only Essien for the Dutchman, but also Frenchman Florent Malouda.

Chelsea hopes to win the favor of Inter president Massimo Moratti, as Manchester United could also join the battle for Sneijder.

According to media reports, Moratti's conditions would be met, but he will leave the final decision to coach Leonardo.
