Sky Sports: Inter to reduce squad size – Melo, Jovetic, Santon, Ranocchia and Banega set to leave

Inter want to reduce the current squad size from 29 to 22-23 players. According to Sky Sports, Roberto Gagliardini is also included in this number despite the difficulties with concluding the deal (2M, according to Atalanta, would not guarantee the transfer including 25 bonus).

As for player departures, Yao and Assane Gnoukouri are the names that are loan listed, while certainly Felipe Melo is headed to Palmeiras –  Stevan Jovetic to Sevilla; Santon to Sampdoria; Ranocchia to Palermo or Sassuolo, while Banega has attracted the attention of a couple of teams in the Chinese Super League, clubs which the Nerazzurri are ready to sit down at a table with and discuss the Argentine’s price tag.

Each operation is important to help reach the target budget for June, a goal that Suning expects to be able to reach. Then, in the summer, Inter and Suning can work without the restrictions of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play and start to think of names like Verratti.
