Inter have pulled the plug talks with Standard Liege for defender Zinho Vanhusden after the Nerazzurri received better offers from elsewhere, according to reports in Belgium.

Vanheusden was expected to join Standard for a club record fee of €20 million with negotiations having continued for several weeks.

However, l’Avenir.net today reported Inter would prefer to sell the centre-back to another club so they can recoup more money.

The website did not specify which clubs had made the more appealing offers but noted Vanheusden has interest from Italy and England.

Inter are facing a race against time as they search for €45 million in capital gains before 30 June.

The club must reach that target in the next week if they wish to avoid the risk of being sanctioned by UEFA for breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.

Vanheusden has spent the last 18 months on loan at Standard but it seems he is no longer destined to join the club permanently.
