Inter could be forced to sell defender Lorenzo Pirola in the summer, according to a report in the Italian media.
FcInter1908.it have revealed the Nerazzurri would be ready to sacrifice their centre-back for €5-6 million if their financial solution remained precarious and they needed liquidity.
Pirola is beginning to impress while on a season-long loan at Monza in Serie B, having started five of their last seven games after a slow start to the campaign.
Inter are monitoring the 19-year-old’s progress with interest and will not make a final decision on his future until the end of the season.
Pirola is growing in confidence with each week, the report explained, and is showing he is worthy of playing for a promotion-chasing team like Monza, who are fourth (two points off second place) in Serie B with eight games left.
If Inter did choose to sell Pirola, the Nerazzurri would ensure they kept a buy-back option on the defender in case he enjoyed great success at his new club.
FCIN1908’s report described Pirola as physically strong and an impressive man-marker, as well as one of Inter’s most promising academy graduates in recent seasons.
Antonio Conte had him in his first-team squad on occasions last season but Pirola needed to go elsewhere to develop and enjoy more game time.
