Inter Milan and Manchester City are locked in talks over the future of Stevan Jovetic.
Jovetic is determined to leave City at the end of this season after being frozen out of their Champions League squad by manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Inter have come forward to take the former Fiorentina star back to Serie A this summer.
Talks have kicked off, but TMW says negotiations have hit a stumbling block over the structure of the transfer.
Inter want to take Jovetic on-loan with the option to sign permanently, while City, for the moment, are demanding a straight cash sale.
