Chelsea defender Wallace is wanted on loan by Roma and Inter.

The 19-year-old Brazilian full-back joined the Blues from Fluminense for £4.4million last year and was allowed to return to the South American club on loan for the rest of the season.

Wallace, who attracted interest from Italy prior to his move, is seen as one for the future at Stamford Bridge as manager Jose Mourinho can choose between Branislav Ivanovic and Cesar Azpilicueta for the right-back spot.

The youngster's agent, Frederico Moraes said: "There has been a lot of talk about him, and Inter have now emerged, too.

"But at the moment there are no concrete offers. The interest from [Roma sporting director, Walter] Sabatini is not a mystery but no concrete offers have arrived."

Speaking about his switch to Chelsea in December, Wallace highlighted the influence of the countrymen already at the club, saying: "There we lots of Italian teams interested in signing me but it was the name Chelsea that attracted me.

"I know Piazon, Luiz, Ramires and Oscar - that was an important factor in having all these people here."
