Inter Milan president wants a decision from Lampard over future plans

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has told Frank Lampard he must make a
decision regarding his future.

The Chelsea midfielder is the top target of the Italian champions this summer but the Nerazzurri are unwilling to wait forever after the Blues rebuffed their initial approach.

"In this situation, just like with everything, it depends a lot on the wishes expressed (by the player)," said Moratti.

"We are waiting for those wishes to be confirmed.

"Lampard is a very serious man and he is certainly divided between the pleasure to do something and the sense of duty regarding his current club.

"Both options are attractive and in the end he will be the one to have to find a solution."

Moratti confirmed that Inter are also looking at other alternatives should Lampard decide to remain at Stamford Bridge.

But he admitted it would be no easy task as Lampard is the right fit for Inter.

"Lampard is a priority but in these situations, you look around," he said.

"It's not easy to find another player because we are talking about a team (Inter) that has players of a very high level.

"We must find one that has the characteristics to complete this group.

"We were talking to the coach to find, in case we don't have the chance to get
Lampard, a player with similar characteristics."
