Conte’s options for the attack

Inter maybe receiving messages of love from Arnautovic. They could be talking of a return (he was on the roster during the treble season of 2010) as the attacker would like to return to Italy.

Inter being forced to lower expectations

Inter could turn to Sassuolo midfielder Stefano Sensi after reportedly refusing to rival Paris Saint-Germain for Cagliari’s Nicolo Barella.

Roma had also made a strong offer for Nicolò Barella, claim Sky Sport Italia, but the Cagliari midfielder has his heart set on Inter. It is well known that the Nerazzurri are in advanced negotiations with the Sardinians over the €50m-rated Italy international.

The price for Neymar

According to French daily Le Parisien, PSG chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi has set the price on Neymar at a staggering 300 million euros – 78 million more than they paid for him two years ago.

Paris Saint-Germain have put Neymar on the market and they will not accept an offer worth less than the 220 million euros that they paid for the Brazilian, though there could be another way to reduce the price of the operation, particularly for Real Madrid. The key would be Casemiro, a player who has been watched by those in Paris for some time, seen as the replacement for Thiago Motta that the club have struggled to find.
