Sky Sports News understands Inter Milan have made an approach for Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari.

The Ghanaian only joined Pompey from Udinese last summer and enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League.

He was recently linked with a move to Juventus, but Serie A rivals Inter have now entered the chase for Muntari.

Pompey boss Harry Redknapp told Sky Sports News earlier this week that there had been no contact with Inter and that he wanted to keep Muntari at Fratton Park.

However, Inter boss Jose Mourinho now appears to have stepped up his interest in the player after failing to tempt Chelsea into selling Frank Lampard.

Muntari, who scored seven goals last term, has returned for pre-season training this week and stated he was looking forward to the new campaign with Pompey.
