Inter are serious about bringing Nicolo Zaniolo back to the club according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset.

Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta is has offered Radja Nainggolan, who wants to return to Roma, to the Giallorossi club as part of a deal for Zaniolo.

Roma president and owner James Pallotta is however understood to have no interest in players being used as part payment being included in any deal and wants at least €70 million in cash for the highly rated Italian national team midfielder, who recently returned from a cruciate ligament injury.

Inter signed Zaniolo from Serie B side Virtus Entella and after starring for Inter Primavera, Inter opted to include him in the deal that led to them signing Nainggolan back in 2018 but this proved to be a big mistake as Zaniolo blossomed and has now become one of the best Italian youngsters out there.

This season he has made 27 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored seven goals and provided two assists.
