Matteo Darmian could return to Italy with Inter as a free agent when his Manchester United contract expires.
The 28-year-old defender, who can play in any role in a back three or four, was already very close to Inter and Juventus over the last few months.
Jose Mourinho refused to release the Italy international for less than €20m, so the two Serie A sides looked elsewhere.
According to the Corriere dello Sport newspaper, Inter are laying the groundwork for another approach as his contract runs down.

It is due to expire at the end of the season, even though there is an option to add another year.
Darmian is increasingly frustrated at the lack of playing time at Old Trafford and would relish a return to the Peninsula.
