Teixera to Inter in January?

Inter will reportedly take Alex Teixeira on loan from Jiangsu Suning in January.

The attacking midfielder moved to the Chinese Super League in February 2016 for a fee of around €50m, but his opportunities have been limited in recent times.

Chinese clubs can only field three foreign players in a game, and Benjamin Moukandjo has been in fine form since arriving from Lorient.

Ramirez is considered untouchable, so Teixeira is fighting with Roger Martinez and Trent Sainsbury for that final slot.

According to Tuttosport, the Nerazzurri will take the Brazilian on loan in January, as Coach Luciano Spalletti doesn’t have a player who can play behind the strikers.

Suning Group owns both clubs, so doing a deal would not be difficult, and Teixeira getting regular playing time in Europe would protect Suning’s investment.

Last season the Beneamata took Sainsbury on loan in January, in order to free up a place in Jiangsu Suning’s squad.
