Since manager Jose Mourinho was appointed at the San Siro earlier this month, speculation has been rife about which Chelsea players he would want to be reunited with. Didier Drogba and Ricardo Carvalho appeared to be top of the list but it seems Lampard is the one he wants.

"Lampard? We like him, and he's our number one objective," Moratti told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

He added: "Mourinho likes Lampard a lot. We all know that he's a great player."

Moratti also hinted negotiations with the Stamford Bridge outfit may have already started, adding: "Has there been contact with Chelsea? I think there has but I don't know yet."

Moratti was less forthcoming about other names being linked to the club.

Barcelona's Deco, who was a key member of Mourinho's Porto side which won the Champions League in 2004, has also been touted with a move to Italy.

While Moratti admitted the Portugal playmaker was a player he liked, he suggested the competition would be fierce.

"Deco has the right characteristics to play for Inter, but we can't all have him," he said.
