Inter have stalled contract talks with Mauro Icardi because they are waiting for a club to meet his €110m price, claim Mediaset Premium.
Financial Fair Play issues remain a problem and the Nerazzurri have to make €50m profit by June 30 or risk sanctions.
The quickest way of securing that is to sell Icardi, who has a release clause worth €110m valid only for clubs outside Italy from July 1-15.

As this is after the FFP deadline, it means Inter are prepared to negotiate not only with sides like Real Madrid, Chelsea or Manchester United, but also Serie A rivals Juventus.
The reports continue to circulate in the Italian media over a possible exchange with Gonzalo Higuain, which would bring in €50m cash.
Inter already have a replacement for Icardi lined up, having signed Argentina sensation Lautaro Martinez from Racing Club for €25m.
Icardi’s wife and representative, Wanda Nara, said this week that they will either agree a new contract with Inter or leave the club.
It seems as if the Nerazzurri are ready to call their bluff.
