Luciano Spalletti, Piero Ausilio, Giovanni Gardini and Walter Sabatini all met in Appiano Gentile yesterday to discuss Inter’s plan of action ahead of next month’s transfer window.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the coach and indeed the management openly discussed the current problems within the squad and what the priorities are when the market opens.

There will be additions, but it was made clear to the Tuscan coach that everything will be done in accordance with Financial Fair Play. The Zhang family will be unable to invest significant money until the summer.

The Milanese-based newspaper reports that Barcelona duo Aleix Vidal and Gerard Deulofeu are both on the Nerazzurri’s radar. They could be available on loan deals which may or may not include obligations to buy.

As for the role of trequartista, Javier Pastore and Henrikh Mkhitaryan remain the two priorities. That said, they will both be expensive operations which could force the club to look elsewhere. Arturo Vidal is also an option, while there is still a chance Ramires could join from sister club Jiangsu Suning.
