Inter to hold Vrsajlko talks?

By Football Italia staff

Inter will reportedly hold talks with Sassuolo for Sime Vrsaljko, but alternatives include Torino’s Bruno Peres and Juventus’ Martin Caceres.

Corriere dello Sport reports today that Nerazzurri Coach Roberto Mancini wants to reinforce his squad with a right-back and a right winger this summer.

Free transfer deals for Sevilla’s Ever Banega and Fenerbahce’s Caner Erkin are practically done already, says the outlet.

Sassuolo’s highly-rated full-back Vrsaljko is believed to be top of Inter’s list of options for the right side of defence.

The Beneamata are said to appreciate the Croatia international for his Serie A experience despite being only 24.

However, the Neroverdi’s €15m asking price and strong interest from other top clubs could prove to be an obstacle.

Bruno Peres of Torino is the top alternative according to the newspaper, but the Brazilian is also tempting Roma and other clubs around Europe.

Juve’s Caceres is another option, as he looks set to leave Turin for free at the end of the season, and the Nerazzurri have already contacted the Uruguayan’s agent despite competition from Napoli and Roma.

Two names have been ruled out of contention. Benfica’s Semedo costs too much at €30/40m, while Manchester City’s Pablo Zabaleta wants to see out his contract until 2017.
