What happened. Inter have moved ahead of Milan in the race for Cagliari forward Paul Mendy. New Inter sporting director Dario Baccin has watched the 2007-born attacker several times and given the green light for a possible move.

• Milan remain attentive but have not matched Inter's groundwork.
• No terms with Cagliari have been reported.
• Cagliari's strong start may make a January sale unlikely.

Inter's early move fits their pattern of targeting young Serie A talent, but Cagliari's climb up the table could complicate a January deal.
