Italian media outlet TuttoSport reports that Inter are planning to make a swap deal with Sevilla for attacking midfielder Joaquin Correa. The deal could potentially see Joao Mario going to Sevilla as a straight swap without any money in between.
According to the report the Portuguese international midfielder has a liking for Sevilla manager, former AC Milan and Firoentina manager Vincenzo Montella, which could be a key factor in unlocking the transfer.
The former Sampdoria midfielder has been unable to find a starting place in the Sevilla line-up so far this season, only playing in nine matches so far. The deal also depends on the decision of Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu. Should the former Everton and AC Milan winger come to Inter, the Nerazzurri will be unable to sign Correa during this transfer window.
However, that situation can change if players such as Eder and Andrea Pinamonti are sold to help raise funds for other transfers.
