Agent: 'Andreas Weimann welcomes Inter Milan move'

The agent of Andreas Weimann has claimed that the Aston Villa forward would be "honoured" to join Inter Milan.

Weimann, 21, has been linked with a move to the San Siro following 11 goals for Premier League strugglers Villa this season.

"At the moment there is nothing concrete," Robert Groener told Interlive.it. "I have not had any contact with Marco Branca or any other Inter directors.

"His contract with Villa expires in 2014, so if they do not renew then he could be sold over the summer.

"Playing in Serie A? Obviously Serie A is less prestigious than the Premier League, but it would be an honour for Weimann to wear the jersey of an historic and prestigious club like Inter."

Weimann signed his first professional contract with Villa in 2010 after a two-year spell in the club's youth academy.
