Swansea City and Hull City target Andrea Ranocchia could stay put at Inter Milan, according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport.

The defender has firmly slipped down the pecking order at the San Siro and has been heavily linked with leaving the Italian giants during the ongoing winter transfer window.




Swansea and Hull have been credited with showing interest in Ranocchia, who is also on the radar of Russian outfit Zenit St. Petersburg.

The Swans have been pushing the hardest to land the central defender, who has made just nine appearances in all competitions for Inter Milan in the present campaign.
 


However, it has been suggested that there is serious chance of Ranocchia remaining at Inter Milan beyond this month, at least until the end of the season.

With less than a week remaining before the closure of the winter transfer window, the saga involving Ranocchia has now taken a new turn.
