In Italy there are reports that negotiations are advanced between Barcelona and Inter Milan regarding left-back Lucas Digne.

Tuttomercato say the Serie A side, through Walter Sabatini, have made a move and the player, who is in search of more minutes -- Sabatini already signed Digne once before when he was working with Roma.

Digne's played a reduced role at Barça. He signed for 15 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain to increase competition for Jordi Alba last summer.

Luis Enrique has not given him many minutes and he was not helped by the brief change to a back three during parts of the season. In many games, Barça played without either Alba or Digne.

The French international would be interested in joining a side where he plays more regularly. He hopes to go to the World Cup with France in Russia next summer and there's fierce competition for a spot.
