Jose Mourinho has told Inter Milan chairman Massimo Moratti he needs Liverpool's Steven Gerrard for next season.

According to Sportmediaset.it, the 'Special One' is eager to polish his squad with some stellar signings in the summer, the most notable target being the Reds captain.

Rafael Benitez could be forced to sell his star man should Champions League qualification evade Liverpool. The club have endured a tough season, and it could become even harder if Moratti grants Mourinho the cash he needs for Gerrard.

But Inter re not alone in the race for the England international. Real Madrid and Manchester City could come out of the shadows and make a bid for him, which is why Mourinho is planning early in a bid to not miss out.
