Inter Milan are making a move for Borussia Monchengladbach defender Matthias Ginter.
Off contract in June, Ginter announced last week he would be leaving Gladbach at the end of the season.
TMW says the Germany international shares the same agent as Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu and talks have commenced between the Nerazzurri and the player's management team.
Inter are turning to Ginter amid doubts over the futures of Milan Skriniar and Stefan de Vrij.
Ginter and Inter are set for more talks next week about a potential pre-contract arrangement.
