Inter are keen on signing Udinese midfielder Roberto Pereyra on a free transfer to replace Roberto Gagliardini next summer.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Il Giorno, via FCInter1908, who report that the Nerazzurri are closely following the 31-year-old’s contract negotiations with his current club with a view to potentially signing him next summer.

Pereyra’s current contract with Udinese is set to expire at the end of June 2023.

The Friulani are hoping to extend the Argentine’s deal, but as of yet contract talks have not gotten them close to an agreement.

The Nerazzurri consider Pereyra a target to reinforce their midfield in the event that the former Juventus and Watford midfielder is to be available on a free transfer.

Considering that Gagliardini is all but certain to leave on a free transfer at the end of his own contract next summer, Pereyra is being lined up as a possible replacement for the 28-year-old.
