Shaqiri’s refusal to accept a series of moves had blocked the Nerazzurri’s transfer strategy.

If he really is on his way to the Premier League, then Inter can finally push forward for a replacement wide attacker.

The prime candidate is Perisic, although Vfl Wolfsburg have made it abundantly clear they do not want to sell.

A cheaper alternative is Perotti of Genoa, but time is of the essence.

President Enrico Preziosi confirmed today he would not hold any negotiations for the Argentine from tomorrow.
