Real Betis are set to make a move for Inter Milan’s Joao Mario, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Serie A side were hoping to ship the midfielder out on loan to the Premier League, but with the window closed, Betis have now emerged as favourites to land the 25-year-old.

The Portuguese international joined Inter in a near €40 million move from Sporting Lisbon in 2016 but failed to shine which saw him sent out on loan for the second half of last season to West Ham.
