AC Milan and Inter consider player swap

Inter and AC Milan could be about to start player exchange negotiations involving Andrea Ranocchia.

The Nerazzuri are prepared to sacrifice the 25 year-old but want to reinforce in other areas as well.

Tuttosport claims the Rossoneri are thinking of offering either Antonio Nocerino or Kevin Prince Boateng.

Ranocchia was the subject of interest from Napoli but is thought to prefer a move across town should he leave.

The San Siro giants are known to swap players with Giampaolo Pazzini and Antonio Cassano recent examples.

Nocerino would be a fair deal for the defender while Inter would need to offer €10 million if they wanted the Ghanian.

Inter President Massimo Moratti and Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani are reportedly keen to start talks.
