Internacional president Giovanni Luigi has confirmed that the club have received an enquiry over highly-rated playmaker Oscar but insists no concrete bids have been made for the player.

Reports this week suggested Chelsea had agreed a €25 million fee for the Brazil international, but Luigi insists such reports are false.

"We received an email today, but it's a long way off being done," Luigi told Radio Gaucha. "The proposal wasn't as good as expected. We think Oscar is worth more than €20million.

"It wasn't an offer; it was more like an enquiry. We are only saying that the numbers have to change."

Oscar, who has made six senior appearances for his country, is set to arrive in London after being named the Brazilian Olympic squad.
