Inter Milan are launching a move for Fiorentina star Federico Bernardeschi.
Premium Sports says Inter have a long-term plan to prise the Italy international away from the Viola.
Suning chief Zhang Jindong is already in talks with Fiorentina patron Diego Dalla Valle and has hopes of establishing a close relationship.
The plan is to eventually secure an informal option on Bernardeschi.
The midfielder has also been linked with Juventus and Chelsea in recent days.
