Chelsea will play a friendly against Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan this summer in San Francisco, according to The New York Times Goal Blog.
The friendly is scheduled for July 21.
Three days earlier, on July 18, Chelsea will play Seattle Sounders in a friendly (kick off time Noon PT). So far, Chelsea is the only Premier League club confirmed to be playing in the United States this summer.
The last time Chelsea played friendlies in the United States was 2007 when they played against LA Galaxy, Suwon Bluewings and Tigres.
Inter Milan, meanwhile, will play several friendlies in addition to the match against Chelsea. Inter Milan will play LA Galaxy on July 16 in Los Angeles, and will play in a Milan derby against AC Milan in Boston on July 26.
