Reports in England suggest Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Inter’s Andrea Ranocchia, to replace Jan Vertonghen.
The Belgian is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, leaving Spurs short at the back.
According to the London Evening Standard, the Premier League side are prepared to pay €5.8m [£5m] to replace him with Italian international Ranocchia.
The centre-back is surplus to requirements at San Siro, and spent the second half of last season on loan at Sampdoria.

It’s believed that sporting director Piero Ausilio would be willing to let Ranocchia leave on loan, as long as there is an obligation to buy in the summer.
The 28-year-old was once seen as one of the most promising defensive prospects in Italy, after a spell at Bari alongside Leonardo Bonucci.
However, his career has stalled and Ranocchia has made just five Serie A appearances so far this season.
