Inter weigh up move for Newcastle flop Florian Thauvin

Thauvin was loaned back to Olympique Marseille, his former club, in January after failing to break into the starting XI.

The 23-year-old, signed for a reported £13million last summer, has also struggled at the Stade Velodrome.

And he is due back on Tyneside in July for the start of pre-season training.

However, Newcastle, likely to be playing in the Championship next season, are ready to cut their losses with Thauvin, who signed a lucrative five-year contract last summer.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Inter could attempt to sign Thauvin on loan with a view to a permanent move after making contact with his agent.
