Inter’s chances of signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan are declining while the chances to sign Ramires are increasing according to reports.

Tuttosport report that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho does not want the Armenian midfielder to depart Old Trafford on a loan basis – which as good as rules out a move for Mkhitaryan to San Siro due to Inter’s Financial Fair Play problems. Moreover, Ramires has made it clear that he is interested in moving to Milan.

Meanwhile, Javier Pastore is yet another distant target for Inter. The player has welcomed Inter’s interest in him but his manager Unai Emery yesterday denied that the Argentine has spoken to him about moving clubs during the transfer window.

Matteo Politano is a new name for the Nerazzurri and it is understood that he was in fact offered to Inter last week. However, currently his name is not near the top of Inter’s transfer wishlist.
