Inter owner Jindong Zhang has told Inter technical coordinator Walter Sabatini that he and sporting director Piero Ausilio will not be afforded any more funds than what they have at the moment FCInterNews.it detail.
Moreover, Zhang has told Inter’s mercato men to rely upon low cost transfers, particularly when it comes to shoring up the defence.
This has lead Sabatini to turn toward former Inter defender Rolando. The Portuguese defender has just six months remaining on his deal with Marseille and Sabatini could look to make the most of his good relationship with L’OM boss Rudi Garcia, who he worked with at Roma. Moreover, Domenico Criscito, who was linked in the summer and last winter too, is an option due to him also having an expiring contract.
Lyon’s Mapou Yanga Mbiwa is another option available to the Nerazzurri, who could request the Frenchman on a loan basis. Also, Ausilio has been in contact with his opposite number at Sassuolo over Francesco Acerbi but a deal for the former Milan man is difficult to achieve due to his contract renewal a few months back.
Despite being told no initiially and unwilling to just turn right toward the low cost options, Sabatini will return to Zhang and try to convince him in to releasing some more funds.
