Inter defender close to sealing Borussia Dortmund move

Andrea Ranocchia looks set to depart the San Siro on route to Borussia Dortmund with the German powerhouse set to make a formal offer for the Italian defender.

As Inter continue their activity in the transfer window, it seems certain that Ranocchia will be on his way with the Ruhr club looking to bolster their injury-plagued squad.

The Italy centre-back is happy with a move to the Westfalenstadion, which will appease both parties, according to Sky Sport Italia.

Inter are reportedly seeking a fee close to €10 million for the 25-year-old.

Ranocchia made his senior Italy debut in 2010, before joining Inter from Genoa in 2011.
