The England international is likely to join Inter following his latest revelation and now it's up to the Italian club to get the ball rolling.

The rumour mill has been spinning out of control surrounding Lampard’s possible move to the Nerazzurri.

Jose Mourinho’s arrival at Inter has had a push-pull effect on the midfielder and the player himself has now revealed that he will end up playing with the Nerazzurri next term.

Lampard was asked by the Corriere Dello Sport whether he believed he would be playing for Jose Mourinho next season and he responded positively.

“Inter? Yes, probably,” said Lampard.

Massimo Moratti then backed up Lampard’s claim but the Inter president is in no hurry to sign him.

“Yes, but we are calm, there is no rush," said the Oil magnate.

Lampard is currently on holiday in Italy and the latest reports claim that he is likely to head back to London via Milan to complete his switch to the San Siro-based club and the deal can be completed as early as next week.
