DBasia.news – Reportedly, Inter Milan are considering the opportunity to bring in Chris Smalling for free. The Brit has entered the final year of his contract with AS Roma.
Chris Smalling has experienced the atmosphere of Italian football since three years ago. He headed to Italy by defending AS Roma after being loaned to Manchester United.
Playing in Italy has made Smalling find his touch again. He is irreplaceable in the Giallorossi defense sector.
However, Smalling’s time with Roma would most likely end this season. The reason, there is no progress in the contract extension process.
Smalling’s agent, James Featherstone, has met representatives of Roma’s management. However, according to Gazzetta, until now there has been no green light.
That situation made James Featherstone start to move. He offered Smalling to a number of Italian clubs, including Inter Milan.
For Inter, Smalling is appealing. Moreover, the Nerazzurri have the opportunity to leave their two central defenders at the end of this season.
The first name is Stefan de Vrij whose contract extension status is unclear. Meanwhile, regarding Francesco Acerbi, Inter hope that Lazio will provide a discount to penetrate the defender.
If one of the players above leaves, it is believed that Inter will likely pursue Smalling. For La Beneamata, Smalling is an interesting profile, especially on a free transfer.
