Banega only left Sevilla to join Inter on a free transfer last summer but the 28-year-old has divided opinion at the Serie A giants, although his cause has not been helped by the fact they continue to change managers.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to PSG where he would reunite with Emery, his former Sevilla manager, but his agent, Marcelo Simonian, has confirmed his client is ’99 per cent’ set to return to Spain his summer.
