Nuri Sahin and Lewis Holtby are the two names that according to Tuttosport, Inter has explored as alternatives to Frank Lampard. But there is news about the midfielder from Schalke 04. According to German press, Holtby has already made it clear he’s not interested in the renewal of his contract, which is why Schalke is considering to sell him in January. The Nerazzurri has stepped forward, along with Arsenal and Tottenham, although the British remain favored. Yet German press claims Inter has made contact and it can only move forward from here.
The salary of Holtby is around € 2 million per season, perfectly in line with the parameters of Inter. One option could be a switch-deal involving Wesley Sneijder.
