On Wednesday, Calciomercato stated Everton and Leicester City are ‘in pole position’ to sign Matías Vecino.
Well, these two clubs are now being joined by Newcastle United in the chase for the Inter Milan player, whose contract expires at the end of the current season and has been restricted to only two starts in all competitions this season.
FcInterNews now claim the 30-year-old leaving the San Siro in the winter market could be a ‘concrete idea’, but ‘not imminent or certain’.
Roma have been linked, but the midfielder is not a priority option for José Mourinho’s side.
The Uruguayan wants a contract until 2024 from Roma, with a salary similar to the one he is currently with the Nerazzurri. The Giallorossi, however, don’t intend to go beyond €1.8m per year.
It’s claimed the player’s agent, Alessandro Lucci, has had ‘positive contacts’ with clubs in Premier League and La Liga, with Newcastle getting a direct mention.
According to the report, the South American’s ‘future inevitably remains linked’ to that of Stefano Sensi. The Italian, however, is less likely to leave Inter in January.
FcInterNews end the report by stating: ‘Different scenarios but none particularly hot, even considering the next fire cycle of Simone Inzaghi’s team who would not disdain the idea of having an extra pawn’.
Indeed, Eddie Howe’s side have made ‘positive approach’ to sign Vecino and Newcastle have made ‘encouraging contacts’ with his agent.
However, the player’s potential exit from Inter next month is still ‘not certain’.
