Inter talks for Magpie Sissoko

With problems for Sporting’s Joao Mario, Inter are in negotiations with Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko.

There are increasing issues to get first choice Joao Mario, as Sporting CP want €50m for the Portugal international and Euro 2016 winner.

However, he has not been called up for this weekend’s domestic game, fuelling reports of an imminent breakthrough.

In the meantime, Sky Sport Italia claim that Inter are in negotiations with an alternative, namely 27-year-old Sissoko.

In the meantime, Sky Sport Italia claim that Inter are in negotiations with an alternative, namely 27-year-old Sissoko.

He wants to leave Newcastle United following their relegation into the Championship and fine performance in the Euro 2016 Final for France.

His agents are in Italy for talks, so the Nerazzurri are keeping all their options open.

Sissoko has also been linked to Juventus, but quite far down the list behind Blaise Matuidi, Axel Witsel and others.
