The Argentine striker has been left to rot on the bench by Jose Mourinho and he is desperate for some first team action.
Crespo has even warned that he may walk out on the club if he doesn't play. Valencia may provide the answer to the striker's woes as, according to Sportmediaset, the Spanish giants have made enquiries for the Argentine hit-man.
Argentina legend Diego Maradona has even advised Inter chief Massimo Moratti to go through with the deal. Banega is one of the hottest midfielder's around and he would be a welcome addition to the Nerazzurri.
The deal will see Crespo head to the Mestalla with Inter paying the Spanish side €12m and take Banega to San Siro.
The move depends on whether the striker would like the idea of moving to La Liga. Roma are also interested in the former Lazio man but that may not happen as the Beneamata are not keen on allowing one of their players to move to a direct Scudetto rival.
