Osvaldo might be on his way to Genoa

Inter Milan was missing several first-team members during last Sunday's 3-1 win over Genoa, and one of them. Pablo Osvaldo, could be on the move.

The attacker, who is currently on loan from Premier League side, Southampton, was not selected by Roberto Mancini for the Genoa game after he confronted teammate Mauro Icardi late on during the game against Juventus. Fortunately, Fredy Guarin stepped in and restrained Osvaldo to prevent things from blowing up.

According to reports, he was fined and had to train alone following that incident. Now it seems that his Inter career might be coming to an end with Genoa cited as a potential destination.

Il Grifoni is currently on the hunt for reinforcement upfront after Alessandro Matri sustained an injury in Sunday's game, and the departure of Mauricio Pinilla.

Gian Piero Gasperini has set his sight on the volatile Osvaldo, but that's not the only Inter attacker that he wants to brought to Luigi Ferraris, with George Puscas and Federico Bonazzoli also being targeted.

At the moment, it seems Inter is ready to cut loose their ties with Osvaldo. Though the 29-year old is the team's second top scorer after Icardi, his temperament might be a source of problem.

The same source mentioned that Inter are only willing to listen to loan offers with options to buy as long as there is a buy-back clause inserted regarding Bonazzoli and Puscas. This makes a lot of sense since the two players are amongst Inter's best talent to have come out of the primavera.

With Inter firmly entrenched in rebuilding their squad, keeping hold of young talents is necessary, as they can develop into an important piece in the future or they could be sold at a higher price.

Apart from Icardi, Inter's other options in attack is limited to Lukas Podolski (what happens to him beyond May is yet to be decided) and Rodrigo Palacio. The former is going to be 30 this summer, while the latter is 32, which means they're not going to figure in the team's long-term plans.

Which is why Inter must make sure that they do not let Bonazzoli and Puscas go so easily.
