Inter Milan are interested in Palermo midfielder Fabio Simplicio.

The Brazilian's agent, Gilmar Veloz, said: "Yesterday evening I dined with Simplicio and we talked a little. The player has a contract for another two years with Palermo and is happy to stay here.

"Inter expressed interest in January in his availability and there are other clubs interested in the player, but Simplicio is very happy to stay here, and in any case, any market talk must be done with Palermo, with whom I have an excellent relationship."
