With technical coordinator Walter Sabatini hard at work trying to sign Ramires, Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has been tasked with finding viable alternatives should the Nerazzurri be unable to land the Brazilian.

Corriere dello Sport report that Ausilio’s search so far has lead him to two names; Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko and Real Madrid’s Dani Ceballos.

Inter have previously courted both players and made an attempt to sign Sissoko during the summer but their efforts were in vain. The French midfielder, despite being on the fringes of the Spurs squad, is a complicated deal to complete and as of yet the Premier League club are not open to loaning him out.

As for Ceballos, he is much easier to acquire due to the fact that he has not played for Los Blancos since the start of December. He does not have the exact characteristics that Inter are looking for but the Nerazzurri are in a situation where they must seize any good opportunity that comes there way.
