Inter wants to block out any potential competition for Joachim Andersen and has already taken the first steps toward signings him according to a report from Tuttosport.

Sampdoria director’s Osti and Romei’s presence at a Youth League game between Inter and Barcelona, with Inter director Ausilio, is proof of the clubs ongoing negotiations, as they begin to identify potential candidates from Inter to be involved in the deal.

The valuation of Andersen made by Sampdoria is around €25-30 million. Once a fee has been agreed, Inter plans to let Miranda leave in January, as Jorge Mendes begins work to secure the Brazilian a move to Sevilla. in this case, Inter would have secured themselves a long term replacement, without deteriorating the squads depth.

Miranda has been a key player for the Nerazzurri in recent years and was most notably part of the defence with Milan Skriniar that got Inter back into the Champions League for the first time in six years. However, with the arrival of Stefan de Vrij, game time has been far more limited for the Brazilian, especially for a player of his quality.
