Chelsea, Real Madrid wait as Inter forced to pay big for Adriano

Parma won't settle for anything less than top dollar from Inter Milan for their half of Adriano's registration.

Chelsea, Real Madrid and Juventus are among several big-spending heavyweights to have contacted Parma this season about buying the Brazilian ace.

Inter president Massimo Moratti is determined to bring Adriano to the San Siro next season, but knows he won't be able to sign the Brazilian on the cheap.

Juve are willing to offer cash plus Marcelo Zalayeta and Nigerian whiz-kid Benjamin in exchange, while Real Madrid are believed to be mulling over replacing Ronaldo with Adriano next season.

Adriano's agent has also confirmed an approach from Chelsea, as the Brazilian's star continues to rise this season.
