Julio Cruz could be shown the door by Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho at the end of the season.
Mourinho spared the Argentine veteran no sympathy after his 15-minute cameo against Manchester United in Tuesday's 0-0 draw.
"I decided to play him in the final minutes, but he never got into the game, it is my fault because I put him on the field," said Mourinho.
Cruz is off contract in June.
