Inter and Roma are considering making a move for Argentine defender Ezequiel Garay’s signature, according to an online report from Spanish newspaper SuperDeporte.

The report details how the Nerazzurri and the Giallorossi are interested in signing the 33-year-old Argentine defender this summer on a free transfer, after the player’s contract expired with Spanish side Valencia at the start of this month. Benfica are also interested in signing Garay but the two Italian clubs are in pole position.

Garay underwent cruciate ligament surgery in February, the report continues, and would be ready to start training with his new team from August onward.

The 33-year-old, who spent the last four years of his career with Valencia, made 23 appearances across all competitions this season for the La Liga outfit, for a total of 1891 minutes.

In that time, he helped the side keep six clean sheets and generally impressed, before suffering the cruciate ligament rupture in February.
