Inter Milan are ready to take Matteo Darmian off the hands of Parma in January.

The fullback was sold to Parma by Manchester United for a fee €1.5m, with expectations that Inter were involved.

Gazzetta dello Sport says a permanent transfer for the winter market is already being discussed.

Parma are expected to make a profit on the sale in order to cover Darmian's wages for the first-half of the season.

Darmian will be clear to play for Inter as he never featured for United this term before his sale.
