Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia journalist and transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Inter manager Antonio Conte has an interest in signing Torino wing-back Cristian Ansaldi.
Ansaldi is the latest player Inter have been linked with ahead of the upcoming transfer window as far as wing-back is concerned with them also having been heavily linked to Chelsea’s Emerson Palmieri too.
“Conte really likes Ansaldi but maybe Inter won’t sign him because they doesn’t need him but Conte likes him very much,” Di Marzio remarked in the Sky Sport Italia studios a short while before the match between Inter and Torino gets underway.
Ansaldi is no stranger to Inter having previously had a spell with the club between 2016 and 2017. In his single season on the club’s books, the 33-year-old Argentine made 26 appearances across all competitions in which he provided two assists.
Since joining Torino, he has went on to make 74 appearances across all competitions to date. He has scored nine goals and provided 11 assists in that time.
This season the former Zenit St. Petersburg player has scored five goals and tallied six assists in 25 appearances to date.
