De Paul’s contract in Madrid runs out in 12 months.

Therefore, Diego Simeone’s men are in a hurry to sell the 31-year-old.

Otherwise, they’d risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.

Meanwhile, Milan and Inter are aware of the situation and could soon try to strike a deal on favorable terms.

No stranger to Serie A, De Paul made his name in Udine, where he flourished between 2016 and 2021.

As such, he may fancy a return to his old stomping ground.
