There are reports that Sunderland want to sign on-loan Argentine Ricky Alvarez on a permanent deal.
The English club have a right of redemption on the midfielder and are thought to be ready to complete a deal if the price is right despite the player struggling to hold his place in the first eleven since picking up a knee injury early in the season.
TMW have reported that Sunderland will have talks with Inter in the next few days.
The report also says that Inter want 8.5M Euro for Alvarez but Sunderland are hoping to do a deal for 7M Euro as they think Inter’s valuation of the player is slightly high.
Robert Mancini is looking to rebuild Inter in the Summer but the club need to sell players because of Financial Fair Play and Alvarez could be one of those that will be allowed to leave.
