Newly-promoted Venezia are keen to sign Inter Milan attacking midfielder Gaetano Oristanio.
This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He reports on his homepage that there have already been initial contacts between the two clubs regarding a potential move.
Last season, Oristanio was at Cagliari on loan.
The 21-year-old had joined the Rossoblu last summer on a season-long loan deal.
Cagliari did have a purchase option on Oristanio. They could have signed the attacking midfielder on a permanent basis for a fee of around €4 million.
However, the Sardinian club have declined to exercise that option.
Reportedly, Cagliari had considered trying to negotiate a lower fee for Oristanio.
However, there is also the possibility of another club making the move for the 21-year-old.
