Negotiations between Inter and Jiangsu over the transfer of Ramires are currently on standby but transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio reports through his website that Stephane M’Bia could help Ramires land in Milano.

Jiangsu are reluctant to let one of their key players in Ramires depart but Inter technical coordinator Walter Sabatini, who also works for the Nerazzurri’s sister club in China, is looking at bringing in Stephane M’Bia which would therefore give Jiangsu manager Fabio Capello an alternative to the former Chelsea midfielder.

If Sabatini can sign the Cameroonian midfielder from fellow Chinese side Hebei China Fortune, the green light will be as good as granted to allow Ramires to complete a switch to Inter.

The 30-year-old has expressed a desire to join Inter many times in past weeks but due to the aforementioned reluctantly from his current employers, he has had to wait patiently in the hope that a deal can be struck between the two clubs.
