Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra is looking increasingly likely to join Inter Milan in the summer, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Mali international has been tipped to leave Madrid for quite sometime now due to his frosty relationship with Coach Bernd Schuster.
Inter have identified the signing of a top-class centre midfielder as their priority in this summer's transfer market, and Roberto Mancini's first-choice is Diarra.
Madrid are demanding just under €20m for the 26-year-old, a fee that Nerazzurri President Massimo Moratti is more than happy to cough up.
Diarra joined Madrid from Lyon in the summer of 2006 for a whopping €26m, however he has never really hit top form in the Spanish capital.
His relationship with Schuster took another turn for the worse last month when he was fined €300,000, a month's wages, for returning to Spain late from the African Cup of Nations.
Diarra's other former clubs in Europe include Greek islanders OFI Crete, and Dutch-outfit Vitesse Arnhem.
