The race for Argentine winger Juan Manuel Iturbe has become one club lighter after Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio indicated that the sums involved in capturing the player are out of the Nerazzurri's reach.
Iturbe, who is on loan at Hellas Verona from Portuguese giants FC Porto, is the subject of interest from Liverpool, Roma and Juventus, who have all sounded out the player's representatives.

Verona have indicated that they would like to activate their purchase option, but the Argentine's future remains shrouded in mystery.
Some clarity has come from Ausilio though, who feels the starlet is too expensive for the Nerazzurri.
