Inter are believed to be ready to make an offer for Sampdoria’s Joachim Andersen, but they need to sell Joao Miranda first.
The Brazilian veteran has lost his place in the team to Stefan de Vrij, and has admitted that he wants to play more.
Now Corriere dello Sport is reporting that Miranda is pushing to leave in January, and the Nerazzurri have identified Andersen as his replacement.
Inter are ready to offer a €5-6m loan, plus a youngster - probably Zinho Vanheusden - with an obligation to buy in the summer.
Given their Financial Fair Play restrictions, the Beneamata can’t buy Andersen outright in January, but they’d fund the loan with the money made by selling Miranda.
There are several issues whoever, the first being Samp’s unwillingness to sell any of their starters in January.
The second is that the obligation to buy would be around €30m, taking the total cost of the deal to above €40m when the loan and Vanheusden’s value are taken into account.
Finally, it’s not clear whether anyone will meet the €10m asking price for Miranda, though Roma and Flamengo are interested.
The Nerazzurri need at least €5-6m to cover the loan, but Miranda’s salary and age would probably push any transfer fee down.

Joachim Andersen is 22 years old. Played full time in all the 10 games. They have only conceded 7 goals and thats not a lot considering AC Milan just scored 3 against them.

Their defensive record is even more impressive when you consider both their CBs (Tonelli & Andersen) are new signings. They've never played together or in Samp's system before, yet their doing so well.

He's been incredible this season. Even got called up to the Argentina NT.

Andersen has looked for now good this season, could be a useful sub as Miranda ages. De Paul has also had a good start. I'm not convinced by his continuity, but he could be a decent offensive sub as well.

Well the last time we bought a young CB from Sampdoria we all know how it went... So yeah... Check please.

For Skriniar we got €20m (ugh) and Caprari. Caprari is a decent player. Rotates with Gaston Ramirez in the spot right behind the two strikers.

To be fair, that was a solid deal at the time. Caprari had just scored 9 Serie A goals and 4 assists for Pescara. The fact that he didn't progress past that is not on us.

Andersen would probably be a good option, though I like our CB line up as it is already. De Paul might be good because we need an alternative to Perisic that isn't Keita (who has not been performing and will probably not be worth buying). What we really need is a playmaker, unless Spal decides we play Joao Mario more (I wouldn't mind after his Lazio performance).

Did Joachim Low and Lucas Andersen fused or something?

Inter all you need to do is, sell him to Chinese club, and you would get more money to add and buy Andersen, this FIFA financial fair play is really affecting clubs who don't have enough money

Joachim Andersen from Sampdoria will in January or June get a permanent big club move (United, Juve, etc) or be transferred to fill the boots of a player just sold (example Skriniar) One to watch 👀

How good is Joachim Andersen?

Watched him for a while, very very good buy IMO for anyone that gets him. Just needs the dust off his shoulders like some defenders, but he has the height and header, strength, tackle, pass, carries it out of defence

Andersen is also very good on ball. Decent on air as well having a fine season, Still only 21. Inter are seriously pursuing him. Mancini from Atalanta is also on my list. Been playing LCB in back 3 this season.

Sampdoria value him at around €30M and would be more inclined to sell him in the summer.
