David Pizarro is preparing to leave Inter given the likelihood that Juan Sebastian Veron will now stay with the club.
The latter was expected to return to his homeland in the summer, thus allowing the Chilean more room in the plans of boss Roberto Mancini.
However, that will probably not be the case now and the former Udinese player isn’t keen on the idea of spending another campaign on the bench.
Inter are understood to be ready to let him go out on loan next term or sell him outright if someone offers them close to the £8m which they paid for him in the summer.
Roma are a possible destination for Pizarro given that they were keen last year before a transfer embargo ended any hopes they had of completing the deal.
The playmaker was specifically requested by Giallorossi boss Luciano Spalletti who worked wonders with him in Udine.
The Nerazzurri already have a number of players on their summer hit list as a possible replacement if Pizarro does head for the exit.
Lecce’s Argentina youngster Cristian Ledesma and Sergio Almiron of Empoli are men who are being continually monitored.
Parma midfielder Fabio Simplicio, a Brazilian also linked with Palermo and Fiorentina, is an option too.
