The presence of Ausilio in Rome, last night is not directly linked to Stefan De Vrij. Talks between the defender, SEG (the agency that takes care of his interests) and Inter have been ongoing for some time. They would like to accelerate the zero-cost deal that would help fix the centre of defence by making the separation between Inter (increasingly probable) and Joao Miranda softer. This is what Gazzetta dello Sport report with conviction.

The news outlet then go on to underline the interest of another defender, Domenico Criscito. “The Italian will leave Zenit, although his heart beats for Genoa, Inter is still hopeful”.

Domenico Criscito is one of those names that gets linked to Inter all too often but his desire to now return to Italy increases the chances of it now happening. With Yuto Nagatomo happy in Turkey, Inter could sell and replace him with the former Genoa defender.
