Hull City and Swansea City are involved in a three-way scrap for Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia.
The centre-back has fallen firmly out of favour at the San Siro, being largely overlooked by Frank de Boer and then his successor Stefano Pioli this season.
His representatives are working overtime to find him another club in the current transfer window and were in London last week for talks with interested parties.
According to Sky Italia, three clubs are leading the chase for Ranocchia.
Hull City are keen to put him at new manager Marco Silva's disposal, while Swansea City boss Paul Clement wants to welcome Ranocchia to the Liberty Stadium.

But Ranocchia could yet end up turning down a move to the Premier League as Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg have not given up hope of beating off Hull and Swansea.
Ranocchia is looking for the best place in which to relauch a career which has lost its way.
He spent time on loan at Sampdoria last year.
