Modibo Diakite underwent a Sampdoria medical today, but the club opted against signing him and Inter could step in.
The transfer deadline has now passed in Italy, as contracts had to be deposited by 22.00 GMT.
Several moves seemed to be on the verge of completion only to be abandoned.
Among them, Diakite was spotted having his medical for Sampdoria today and then returned to his hotel to await news.
It never came, as Samp decided not to go through with the move.

The transfer deadline has now passed in Italy, as contracts had to be deposited by 22.00 GMT.
Several moves seemed to be on the verge of completion only to be abandoned.
Among them, Diakite was spotted having his medical for Sampdoria today and then returned to his hotel to await news.
It never came, as Samp decided not to go through with the move.
Diakite is a free agent, as his contracts were either terminated early or not renewed at Lazio, Sunderland and then Deportivo La Coruna.
As the Frenchman is out of contract, he could technically still sign for a Serie A club after the transfer deadline and Inter are thought to be interested.
That’s because the Nerazzurri were in advanced negotiations with Porto for Rolando, but talks collapsed when the Portuguese side refused to release him on loan.
Other moves that didn’t go through were Pedro Mendes from Parma to Cagliari, while Ederson rejected Sampdoria, therefore scuppering Lazio’s bid for Gonzalo Bergessio.
