Inter and Roma Linked to Algerian World Cup Standout
Inter are slow-cooking the negotiation with Tottenham for Djed Spence and are probing other wing-backs, for instance Ivan Perisic and Rafik Belghali, who's also being chased after by Roma too.
According to Tuttomercatoweb , the Nerazzurri director, Piero Ausilio, reached out to his Verona counterpart, Sean Sogliano, over the weekend. The Algerian international is itching to return to Serie A after the relegation.

Inter would have the inside track if they decided that Belghali was the right man for the job, while Roma are weighing their options after the unexpected departure of Zeki Celik , La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. His price tag is roughly €15M.
The Giallorossi are also interested in Nottingham Forest's Nicolò Savona. He's on Atalanta's radar because of Raoul Bellanova's likely exit. The decision-makers want to see whether Angelino is fully recovered from his lung problems before sorting out how many additions to make.
As for the Scaligeri star, he further raised his profile in the World Cup, scoring versus Austria and faring well in all four contests. He joined from KV Mechelen for just €2M last summer and hit the net twice in 26 outings in his first Serie A season. He was also part of the AFCON squad.
Our Take on Inter and Roma Eyeing Belghali
The number of targets the former are being linked to could mean that they are plotting to sign two wing-backs and perhaps try to recoup their investment in Luis Henrique. He's never lacked suitors in the EPL despite his struggles.

The Gialloblù man is a fine and energetic contributor, especially in the final third, with solid upside, even though he's not young. Still, he'd be more of a deputy or rotational piece than a surefire starter in a big team.
