Roberto Gagliardini wishes to stay at Inter despite the fact he could slide down the pecking order in the coming months according to a report from Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it.

Inter are planning to reinforce the midfield and Brescia’s Sandro Tonali is believed to be their top target and although Tonali’s arrival would damage Gagliardini’s playing time, he wants to prove his worth in the remainder of the season and secure his future with Inter.

He rejected a possible move to West Ham United back in January and Torino and Fiorentina have both been linked with him in recent weeks and months.

The report goes on to explain that Atalanta are interested in bringing the 26-year-old back to the club. It also suggests that Inter and Atalanta could well conduct a swap deal involving Gagliardini and full back Robin Gosens, who is among Inter’s targets as they look to bolster their full back options.

Gagliardini is facing an uncertain future, just like Matias Vecino is. The Uruguayan has been linked to Arsenal, Valencia and Everton and could follow Borja Valero, whose contract is set to expire, out of the club.
