Inter plan for Gabbiadini

Inter are looking to exchange Juan Jesus for Napoli's Manolo Gabbiadini, who will take the place of Adem Ljajic, say reports.

The Nerazzurri's strategy on the transfer market will depend to a great extent on whether they will be able to find a suitable business partner in the summer, but in the meantime they have already identified a target.

The Nerazzurri's strategy on the transfer market will depend to a great extent on whether they will be able to find a suitable business partner in the summer, but in the meantime they have already identified a target.

According to Tuttosport, Coach Roberto Mancini is particularly keen on signing Manolo Gabbiadini, whose role at Napoli has largely been that of bench-warmer for Gonzalo Higuain.

Even so, the Italian managed five goals and three assists in the time he's been given, and may provide Inter with the boost they are looking for.

Gabbiadini is also being sought after by Wolfsburg and Tottenham Hotspur, and it's unlikely that Napoli will sell him for anything less than €25m.

The Biscione may attempt to reduce that cost by offering central defender Juan Jesus in exchange for the striker. They will also return on-loan Adem Ljajic to Roma, freeing up a spot for Gabbiadini and saving the €11m that the striker is worth.
