Inter’s Sporting Sirector Pietro Ausilio will go on a mission to South America this November during the international break together with deputy Sporting Director Dario Baccin to look for defensive options for the Nerazzurri ahead of when the January transfer window opens.

According to a report in Tuttosport, Manchester City defender Mangala is still being linked with a move to Inter: “it is good news for Ausilio that Mangala is still struggling to get into the Man City line up. A loan move is a possibility. The French defender is eager to ask for a transfer and in January City could be forced to sell him, if the club sign another defender as requested expressly by current coach Pep Guardiola.”
