Inter are continuing their search for a central defender as they face difficulties in acquiring Eliaquim Mangala from Manchester City. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Inter spoke with Shkodran Mustafi today. Arsenal would be unwilling to loan the German, formerly of Sampdoria, out due to the high fee they paid but the Nerazzurri leadership are prepared to insist upon him to help Luciano Spalletti shape his backline.
