Inter hope they can free up more transfer funds this month by selling off their unwanted strikers, according to Corriere dello Sport.

George Puscas, Facundo Colidio, Davide Merola and Gabriel Barbosa are all on the market and could help the club find money to bring in new players.

Samuele Longo will only join Deportivo La Coruna on loan but his departure is on hold until a new centre-forward arrives.

Mauro Icardi is a separate case altogether, with the Nerazzurri’s former captain still reluctant to leave the city of Milan where he is so happy.

Puscas wants to join a club in Serie A or another top-flight side in Europe, with reports linking him to Birmingham and Saint-Etienne this week.

Colidio is being courted by Newcastle and Leeds and could bring Inter €11-12 million if he leaves on loan with an option to buy (and a counter-option for the Nerazzurri).

Merola seems destined to sign for Empoli after they held talks with his agent Mino Raiola last week, but no deal is agreed yet.

Gabigol is on loan with Flamengo until December but Piero Ausilio would like to sell him to a side in Europe this summer.

The former Santos man would produce the biggest fee of the lot but his wage demands are putting off his potential suitors.

Barbosa still has two years on his contract with Inter and would need to be sold for €15 million to avoid a net loss.
