Inter Milan chief Marco Branca is facing a transfer dilemma due to Amantino Mancini.
Gazzetta dello Sport says with Olympique Marseille pulling out of a deal for the Brazilian, Branca may be forced to end talks with Roma for Julio Baptista.
Inter's interest in Lazio midfielder Cristian Ledesma is also in doubt.
Meanwhile, Inter have denied interest in Palermo midfielder Fabio Simplico, who is now tipped to sign with Roma on a Bosman.
