Chelsea asked Inter Milan about their willingness to sell Italy midfielder Nicolo Barella but the Serie A club were not prepared to let the 25-year-old leave. (Tuttomercatoweb – in Italian)

Inter Milan chief executive Giuseppe Marotta says it is Slovakia defender Milan Skriniar’s choice to not sign a new contract and leave for free when the 27-year-old’s deal expires in the summer. (Sport Mediaset, via Football Italia) 

Bournemouth turned down the chance to sign Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo after the 23-year-old Italy international had a change of heart about joining the south coast club. (Sky Sport Italia, via Daily Echo)

A move taking 30-year-old Spanish midfielder Isco, who is a free agent after leaving Sevilla in December, to German club Union Berlin collapsed. (Goal)
