Inter Milan director Walter Sabatini admits they're in talks over signing Jiangsu Suning pair Ramires and Alex Teixeira.

Both players could be taken on-loan from Inter's sister club.

“We are in sync with the Coach on the intention of making a few adjustments in January," Sabatini told Sky Sport Italia.

“We are evaluating the situations for Ramires and Teixeira, it is all yet to be defined."

Sabatini also made clear they do not wish to lose midfielder Joao Mario.

"As with all those who have to earn their place at the World Cup, Joao has some issues with the lack of playing time. We don't want to lose him, so Luciano Spalletti will find common ground and they'll work out what to do."
