Inter Milan and Jiangsu Suning are working together to sign Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele.
The Belgium international is ready to leave Spurs this summer and is fielding interest from Serie A.
Sky Italia says Inter owners Suning are keen to set up a deal for the midfielder.
The Chinese giants plan to sign Dembele for Inter for a year before sending him to Jiangsu Suning next season.
For his part, Dembele is receptive to the proposal, particularly with Inter qualifying for the Champions League next season.
