Geoffrey Kondogbia has reportedly asked to leave Inter, who are demanding around €30m for the midfielder.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Kondogbia believes he needs a change of scenery after two “difficult” years, in which he scored just two goals in 56 appearances.
Despite looking rejuvenated under Luciano Spalletti, his own goal from distance against Chelsea was “yet another sign of an unlucky marriage” between him and Inter.

The 24-year-old also wants regular football so he can be called up to the France squad for the World Cup next summer, although he has not played for Les Bleus since September 2015.
The newspaper notes Inter will be looking for a fee in the region of €25-30m, having paid €40m to sign him two years ago.
The Nerazzurri need to recoup such a figure in order to break even, but they are also trying to raise funds for “a stormtrooper” in the middle of the park, that player being Bayern Munich’s Arturo Vidal.
Gazzetta concludes “the most interesting offers” will come from Premier League clubs.
