REVEALED! Inter’s Christmas Shopping List
WHO CAN LEAVE – No secret that Inter have far too many full-backs in their squad and some of them are definitely going to leave San Siro in January.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport points out, Andrea Ranocchia has offers from Bologna and Sevilla FC and will probably join the Serie A side on a six-months loan.
The former Bari star was the last Italian player to score a goal for Inter in Serie A on December 2014 against Chievo Verona.
After his senior team debut in the last Serie A clash against Udinese, Martin Montoya will have to decide if he wants to stay at Inter or if he prefers go back to Spain, while Yuto Nagatomo could extend his contract expiring in June 2016 and join Bundesliga side Shalke 04 from next season.
Serie B giants Cagliari want Assane Gnoukouri on a six-months loan, Il Corriere dello Sport reveals.
NEW SIGNINGS – Inter are closing in on the signing of Jonathan Calleri from Boca Juniors. As previously reported, the 22-year-old will join Bologna on loan for six months before signing with Inter for five years.
Antonio Candreva is also on Roberto Mancini's Christmass shopping list, though the Lazio star is more likely to join the San Siro side at the end of the season rather than in January. Former Man City boss still hopes to convince Andrea Pirlo to sign with the club for at least three months but the player seems to be willing to remain in NY also before the MLS begins.
Roberto Mancini is looking for a quality central midfielder with Verona’s Iacopo Sala and Lazio’s Lucas Biglia and Danilo Cataldi topping the 51-year-old manager wish-list. No doubt that the 24-year-old Giallo-Blu midfielder would be easier to sign than Biglia and Cataldi, at least in January.
The former Manchester City boss wants also and experienced (and cheap) forward to give back-up to Mauro Icardi.
Rodrigo Palacio will extend his contract expiring in June 2016 for one more year, while Samir Handanovic and Marcelo Brozovic have offers from Turkey and England respectively, though Inter are not eager to sell them.
