The agent of Southampton winger Gaston Ramirez says they're in talks with Serie A clubs.

Ramirez is currently on-loan with Hull City.

"I know that Roberto Mancini likes him a great deal, going all the way back to his days at Manchester City when he was tracking progress at Bologna," agent Pablo Betancourt told fcinternews.it.

"Then Mancini called me from Galatasaray to take Ramirez to Turkey, but it was impossible at the time to secure the transfer.

"I have to be honest, Gaston hasn't played the way he could've done in the Premier League due to injuries, team changes and tactical issues. That is why people are talking about him on the transfer market.

"I am discussing it with two Serie A clubs who have approached us and we are starting to talk, but Inter are not one of them. They are two clubs, one very important and one less so, but who are doing very well this season."
