Inter are prepared to pay €50m to buy Diego Simeone out of his Atletico Madrid contract early, claims the Corriere dello Sport.
It is no secret that Cholo would relish a return to San Siro, where he spent a period of his playing career, and a recent trip to Milan only fuelled that speculation further.
When asked if he was there to speak to the Nerazzurri, he smiled and replied: “You never know.”
According to the Corriere dello Sport today, Chinese owners Suning Group are ready to spend €50m on getting Simeone to the club.

According to the Corriere dello Sport today, Chinese owners Suning Group are ready to spend €50m on getting Simeone to the club.
His contract with Atletico Madrid was recently shortened to June 2018, because he wants to play in their new stadium next season before moving on.
There is a release clause and paying that would be added to the €5m plus bonuses per year wages he currently earns.
Inter only signed Stefano Pioli last week on a contract to June 2018, so the groundwork is set for Simeone’s arrival on that date, but it’s possible the reunion could be brought forward.
Pioli will make his debut on the bench in tomorrow night’s Milan Derby, as Frank de Boer was sacked after just 84 days in charge.
