Inter Milan are keen on a deal for Everton outcast Lucas Digne.
The France fullback is being made available by Everton for the January market after falling out with manager Rafa Benitez.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Inter hope to set up a loan arrangement for Digne for the remainder of the season, though they've hit a stumbling block.
Everton have insisted on a permanent option being included in the deal - something Inter will not consider.
The unpredictable financial future of Inter owners Suning mean they cannot commit to any major fee for a permanent signing next summer.
