Inter would reportedly accept €27m [£24m] from Wolverhampton Wanderers for Joao Mario, as they could break even on the transfer.
The Portuguese midfielder spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham United, but didn’t sign for the Hammers outright.
Agent Jorge Mendes wants to take him to Wolves, but it was reported that the Nerazzurri were insisting on a €5m loan with a €30m obligation to buy.

The Portuguese midfielder spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham United, but didn’t sign for the Hammers outright.
Agent Jorge Mendes wants to take him to Wolves, but it was reported that the Nerazzurri were insisting on a €5m loan with a €30m obligation to buy.
Now Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting that they’d be willing to sell him outright, for offers of €25m or above.
Joao Mario joined in the summer of 2016 for a fee of €40m plus €5m in bonuses, but with costs amortised over the length of his contract, the Beneamata would break even with €27m.
If an offer of €27m arrives the deal could be closed “in two minutes”, the newspaper reports.
Inter would then turn to Nicolo Barella of Cagliari, who could be signed on loan with an option to buy.
