Inter make a €25m offer for Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi, viewed as an alternative to Lazio's Antonio Candreva.
The 21-year-old is largely considered to be one of the most promising young Italians and has recently turned down Juventus, one of his long-time suitors.
Multiple sources, including La Gazzetta dello Sport and Alfredo Pedulla, are reporting of a heavy-handed move by the Nerazzurri in an effort to bring the player to Milan.

The 21-year-old is largely considered to be one of the most promising young Italians and has recently turned down Juventus, one of his long-time suitors.
Multiple sources, including La Gazzetta dello Sport and Alfredo Pedulla, are reporting of a heavy-handed move by the Nerazzurri in an effort to bring the player to Milan.
Apparently they have offered Sassuolo €25m to let go of their star, whilst Berardi would earn €2.5m per season over five years. Unlike Juventus, they are willing to offer him a starter's shirt.
The youngster is viewed as a preferable alternative to Lazio's Candreva, for whom president Claudio Lotito is also requesting €25m, but who is 29-years-old and thus not comparable as a long-term investment.
Inter are only willing to offer €16m plus bonuses for the Biancoceleste, and their move for Berardi may have the after-effect of convincing Lotito to lower the price.
Berardi is also useful in terms of meeting Europa League and Serie A requirements for Italian players within the squad.
