Serie A giants Inter Milan have been linked with an interest in Aston Villa goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini. Italian publication TuttoMercatoWeb, via Sport Mediaset, originally claimed that Inter are interested in signing the Italian youngster on a loan deal until the end of the season.
Now, Villa’s recent capture of Sam Johnstone on a loan move from Man Utd has further fueled the speculation that Gollini would soon be departing for Inter.
Birmingham Mail has claimed that Inter are set to step up their pursuit following the arrival of Johnstone at Villa Park.
The report also states that the 21-year-old has grown homesick, and he wants to return to his homeland.
Any possible move is likely to be a loan deal as Villa are not ready to allow the young talent leave the club on a permanent deal. The Midlands club signed the Italy U21 international in a £4m deal during the summer.
