However, the newspaper warns the proposal has not yet been accepted by the Argentine.

Instead, he is first expected to extend his contract with the Bianconeri until 2023, with his salary dropping to €4.5m.

The 31-year-old has begun preseason with the Old Lady and is known to prefer staying put.

Nonetheless, he is the Giallorossi's first choice to replace Edin Dzeko if the Bosnian joins Inter.
