Inter have received an approach from Monaco for outgoing midfielder Joao Mario, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The club want to get rid of the Portuguese international on a permanent deal but would accept a loan with an obligation to buy next summer.
Jorge Mendes is leading the Monegasques’ pursuit of the player and a move is described as ‘a possibility’.
Joao Mario had been linked with a return to Sporting Lisbon, but his €3 million wages means it will be difficult to arrange a deal.
Inter signed the 26-year-old for more than €40 million in 2016 and stand no chance of receiving anything like as much money in a sale.
Mario spent the second half of the 2017-18 season on loan at West Ham after proving a tremendous disappointment in his first 18 months with the Nerazzurri.
The player is now ready to leave for good and Inter supporters are unlikely to miss him.
