Luciano Spalletti has confirmed that he has spoken with the Inter Milan board about a possible move for Paris Saint-Germain star Javier Pastore.
The 28-year-old is currently in his seventh season with PSG but has started only eight Ligue 1 games so far this term.
Numerous reports have suggested that the Parisians are willing to part ways with Pastore in January, and Inter head coach Spalletti has thrown his name in the hat for the Argentine's services.
"Pastore is certainly a great player, but I do not interfere with negotiations or the transfer market," the Italian is quoted by Football Italia as saying.
"If I forget who we're discussing at a club meeting, I'll just look at the newspaper headlines to remind me.
"Pastore is one of the players we talked about, he is very talented, but we also discussed other situations without losing sight of what we already have."
Liverpool are also believed to have expressed an interest in Pastore.
