Inter Milan have reportedly identified Manchester United defender Chris Smalling as a potential signing.
The 30-year-old spent the most recent campaign at Roma, making a total of 37 appearances in all competitions for I Giallorossi.
While the England international would like to remain at Stadio Olimpico on a permanent basis, United are not prepared to budge on their £20m valuation.
Unlike Roma, The Express claims that Inter have no issues with paying the asking price of the long-serving United centre-back.
Given his preference to play with a back three, Conte was allegedly left impressed with how Smalling adapted to the role during his time in Serie A.
Although Newcastle United are also said to be monitoring the situation, the Magpies are expected to fail with an approach for the player.
