Yes, and they need replacement for Rüdiger who is injured and out until December or so. But they are apparently very close to sign Juan Jesus and are also interested in Nacho from RM so I'm affraid Vermaelen is not in their plans anymore. If he ever was and their supposed interest wasn't just pure BS from Sport. Maybe Inter will try to buy him now to replace Jesus. I've read that West Ham is interested too and they are the prefered destination of Vermaelen (or at least that he prefers to go back to EPL over moving to Serie A) but I've talk to one West Ham fan I know and he said they are not looking to sign any CB. So really, who knows what will happpen. I'd gladly take whatever we can get for him before he get injured again.
