With the idea of redeeming Joao Cancelo remaining difficult for Inter, Manchester United have come in and are looking to swoop the full back from under their noses.
FCInterNews.it report that the Premier League club are so keen that they have already made a proposal to Cancelo’s parent club Valencia despite Inter having first option on him.
The Red Devils offer consists of a €42 million fee plus bonuses and they are prepared to tie the 23-year-old down to a long term contract with a five year contract with an annual salary of €3.5 million understood to be on offer.
Inter are doing their utmost to ensure they do not lose Cancelo, who has become a key part of Luciano Spalletti’s side, but the ongoing financial fair play problems could prove detrimental to their effort to keep a hold of him.
Since arriving last summer, Cancelo has made 25 appearances for the Nerazzurri, scoring once and assisting four goals.
