Inter want between €3-4 million to part ways with Antonio Candreva according to a report from Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.com.
There is currently a difference of about €1 million between Sampdoria’s offer for Candreva and Inter’s demands for him and there is also some distance when it comes to the Italian wing-back’s contract.
Candreva currently earns €3 million a year in Milan, a salary out of reach for Sampdoria. It has been suggested that Candreva could take on a three or four year deal and spread the salary but as per this report, Candreva’s representatives are said to be seeking a €1.5 million a year deal for their client whilst Sampdoria would like him to earn slightly less.
The report goes on to explain that a move to Sampdoria would probably be the optimal solution for Candreva, who wishes to remain close to Milan where he and his family are settled.
Moreover, the presence of Claudio Ranieri as manager, the system he would play in plus the lack of competition he would face make it a further optimal situation.
The report also adds that Genoa are not completely out of the race to sign Candreva either because despite just signing Davide Zappacosta, they could offer a greater salary to Candreva than their rivals can
