Victor Moses Faces Contract Extension Hurdle As Inter Milan Target Barcelona Star

Published: April 29, 2020

Former Nigeria international Victor Moses is facing a contract extension hurdle at Inter Milan if reports emanating from the Italian media are anything to go by.

According to the electronic edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan are ready to negotiate with Barcelona for Nelson Semedo and this is unconnected to Lautaro Martinez's proposed move from the Nerazzurri to the Blaugrana.

If Semedo arrives Inter Milan, the Portugal right-back could replace Moses at the right wing-back role in the 3-5-2 formation usually favoured by Antonio Conte.

Inter have a purchase option set at ten million euros for the permanent signing of the former Crystal Palace and Wigan Athletic man but they are under no obligation to trigger the clause.

Since the former Africa Cup of Nations winner joined Inter in January, he has been playing second fiddle to Antonio Candreva, starting only one game in the Serie A, before suffering an injury.

Conte revived Moses' career during his time as Chelsea coach by converting him to a right wing-back but since the Italian departed Stamford Bridge in July 2018, the Nigerian has been sent on loan to two different clubs.

The 29-year-old, who is Chelsea's joint-longest serving player, is tied to the Blues until June 2021.
