Inter have not given up on signing Joao Cancelo permanently despite interest from Juventus and Manchester United, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Nerazzurri cannot guarantee Valencia the €35 million they would need to pay in order to redeem the full-back after his season-long loan, which leaves the door open for other clubs to make offers.
“Cancelo is a possible coup for the Bianconeri”, the Milan-based paper write, “someone they could pounce for considering that Inter won’t be able to sign him before the end of May.
In spite of this, Inter are said to be hopeful they will get a second chance to sign the 23 year-old later in the summer.
“Piero Ausilio believes another opportunity could present itself later on in the mercato, and should that be the case he will be ready for it.
“Inter would like to return to the scene once Valencia have lowered their asking price and once they will have more room for manoeuvre, thanks to the Champions League revenue they will receive in July (around €40 million).
“The will of the player, who enjoyed working with Spalletti, could be used to the Nerazzurri’s advantage.”
