Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia could stay at the club beyond the end of the current season.
This according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it, who report that the Nerazzurri could decide to exercise their option to extend the 33-year-old’s contract past the end of the summer, though he would want playing time if this were the case.
The Nerazzurri have an option to extend the one-year deal that Ranocchia signed last summer by a further season, and they are yet to make their decision on whether to allow him to leave at the end of his contract to save on his wages or to extend with him.
However, things could also depend on whether the club intend to offer the defender significant playing time.
This season, Ranocchia has barely played more than five hundred minutes across all competitions, and if Simone Inzaghi tells him that this situation isn’t likely to change then he could decide to instead move to a club where he will receive playing time.
