Inter are losing hope of signing Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain as the forward continues to delay a decision on his future, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Cavani has not rejected the Nerazzurri’s advances but he does not want to commit to leaving the club now, given the uncertain state of affairs in Paris.
Neymar’s future has yet to be resolved and the Uruguay international would happily remain for the final year of his contract if he left.
PSG will play Rennes in the Trophee des Champions in China tomorrow and no further communication is expected until afterwards.
Inter now consider their bid to secure Cavani ‘more difficult’ than it was before yesterday, but they do not have an appealing alternative to the 32-year-old.
Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata and Valencia forward Rodrigo are not priorities for the Nerazzurri, not so much for their talent but because they are considered too expensive.
Napoli have floated the idea of swapping Mauro Icardi with Arkadiusz Milik, but Inter aren’t interested in the Poland international.
Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric and Sevilla’s Wissam Ben Yedder were both offered to the club this week, but again Inter are lukewarm about both players.
Inter hope to sign Edin Dzeko from Roma as quickly as possible so they have more time to ponder the identity of their second striker.
