Piero Ausilio, Inter’s sporting director, was spotted in attendance at Tottenham Hotspur versus Manchester City last night and he will also be present for Manchester United versus Barcelona tonight according to a report from Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

There is certainly no shortage of players in Ausilio’s notebook beginning with Serge Aurier and Ilkay Gundogan last night but the more important game of his trip to England is tonight.

Ausilio will be keeping a very close eye on Barcelona pair Ivan Rakitic and Malcom as well as United duo Romelu Lukaku and Matteo Darmian. These players are part of the dream of the Nerazzurri sporting director.

While Rakitic’s contract position is still up in the air, Malcom is currently out of favour under Ernesto Valverde but in Football that only takes a week to change. Meanwhile, Lukaku depends on Mauro Icardi and Darmian is the most likely candidate to replace Cedric Soares.
