Marco Benassi is yet another player that Inter could look toward in the January transfer window to strengthen their midfield according to a report from FCInterNews.it, who stress signing him will be far from easy.

The central midfielder has found playing time hard to come by this season having been limited to just 323 minutes across eight appearances.

The 25-year-old, who is an Inter academy graduate, is under contract with La Viola through to 2022 and although down the pecking order at the moment, they are reluctant to let him leave the club for a number of reasons.

Fiorentina’s leadership are well aware how difficult it would be to find a replacement for him in the January transfer window, a window notoroious for its lack of options.

Moreover, Fiorentina are due Torino around €1 million in bonuses and 20% of any future resale meaning any offer would have to be a significant one to make it wortwhile to them.
