Inter have begun talks with Real Valladolid owner, former Inter player Ronaldo, with regard to receiving some assistance in signing Cruzeiro talent Gabriel Brazao according to a report from Tuttosport.

Due to already fulfilling their non-EU quota for the season, Inter will have to find a club to work in unison with in order to sign the 18-year-old goalkeeper this transfer window.

Valladolid aside, fellow Serie A club Chievo Verona are one of the candidates due to previously helping Inter out when it came to the Nerazzurri signing Julio Cesar back in 2005.

Brazao would join the ‘friendly club,’ as Tuttosport put it, on loan until the end of the season when Inter would then sign him. In between this window and the Summer, Brazao could acquire a Portuguese passport which would help Inter out.

The Brazilian shot-stopper is regarded by Inter as the heir to current number one Samir Handanovic who will turn 35-years-old in the Summer.
