According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter are yet to take any decisive steps towards signing Javier Pastore from Paris Saint-Germain this month. However, that said, his agent Marcelo Simonian was in Paris and has discussed the possibility of his client leaving the French club.

Nerazzurri directors Walter Sabatini and Piero Ausilio intend to sign the former Palermo trequartista on loan with an option to buy, and are prepared to sacrifice several players in order to do so.

Young striker Andrea Pinamonti could be sold to Sassuolo or Cagliari, while several foreign sides are also interested in securing his services. On the other hand, Ausilio has already excluded the possibility of Éder or Marcelo Brozović being sold this month.

Meanwhile, coach Luciano Spalletti has indicated that he would like Inter to sign another midfielder before Wednesday’s deadline, with Real Betis star Fabián Ruiz very much the name in vogue just now. However, it seems more likely that he will arrive in the summer.
