Inter: who is coming and who is going? Fellaini offered to Nerazzurri
Inter's challenge for this winter is to somehow improve the squad whilst selling players. The latter is a key requirement, as the team's books have already attracte the interest of UEFA's FFP auditors.
So who is on their way out? After Zenit offered a loan with a buyout clause, Fredy Guarin has attracted the interest of Chinese Premier League spenders Jiangsu Suning, who after snatching Luiz Adriano have offered as much as six million a year for the Colombian international. They're not the only ones to offer €15 million for him, however, with Shanghai Shenhua also making a similar bid. As previously mentioned, the Colombian isn't a huge fan, and would rather stay.
With Jonathan Biabiany very unlikely to leave - something we exclusively revealed last night - Inter's list is down to Montoya, Santono, Nagatomo and Gnoukouri.
Juan Jesus, who can't buy a game for love nor money, has said no Bundesliga offers from Stuttgart and Werder Bremen. Aston Villa and Manchester United have chased Marcelo Brozovic, who is also one of Arsenal's transfer objectives. The more creative among our British colleagues claim that Wenger is ready to splash out €72 million for Mauro Icardi. Brazilian flop Dodò has turned down a loan to Sampdoria, who also want Ranocchia, along with Fiorentina, Sevilla and Valencia.
What about the other direction? Mancini's real ambition is to bring in both Candreva or Gabbiadini, though they won't come cheap. The Nerazzurri have renewed their interest in long-term target Granit Xhaka, whilst for the defence the names of Widmer, Mario Rui, Heurtaux and Barba have been mentioned.
Reports are coming in that Manchester United have offered fringe player Marouane Fellaini to the Nerazzurri, whose coach, Roberto Mancini, isn't convinced either by Valdifiori or by Mario Suarez, who has flopped at Fiorentina.
The Nerazzurri have also tried to open up a channel with Sampdoria, to get closer to Roberto Soriano and Fernando, possibly ever Zukanovic and Eder.
