Inter Milan begin talks to sign Atletico Madrid star

Rodrigo de Paul is back in the transfer market. The Atletico Madrid midfielder has attracted interest from Inter, who have already made their first moves to sign him this summer.

The Bianconeri believe that the former Udinese and Valencia player's profile is a perfect fit for their style of play and believe that his La Liga experience and competitive nature would be a high-level addition to their squad.

The Argentine footballer has become a key player in Diego Simeone's schemes, providing balance, pressure and an exceptional ability to link up with attackers.

However, the Metropolitano club have not ruled out a sale if the offer from Italy reaches the figures the board deems acceptable. His departure would not be easy, but not impossible either, especially if the player himself is happy to return to Serie A.

There is optimism within Inter. They believe that the link between De Paul and the Italian league remains intact and that his adaptation to Simone Inzaghi's team would be immediate.

Furthermore, the club from Giuseppe Meazza is preparing for a difficult transfer window, with the need to maintain its competitive level among Europe's elite, and De Paul is among its main targets to strengthen the midfield.

Atletico Madrid, for their part, remain firm in their financial demands of around 25 million euros and hope that any possible departure will not destabilize the project led by 'Cholo'.

De Paul has a current contract and has not publicly expressed his intention to leave the team, although an attractive offer from Inter could change his future in the coming months. /Telegraph/
