According to Calciomercato, the first contact has taken place between Inter President Erick Thohir and new head coach Frank de Boer.
Thohir has just returned from Brazil where he has been meeting with some of the Indonesian athletes at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
For Inter, the main situation at the moment revolves around Mauro Icardi. Inter want to tie him down to a new deal amid reported interest from Napoli, Chelsea and Arsenal, but his future still remains far from certain.
De Boer has already made it clear he wants him to be a driving force this season and the club will look at extending his current contract, even though it does not expire until 2019. A rise is likely on the €3.5 million he currently earns per year.
Suning intermediary Kia Joorabchian is heading to Lisbon for a meeting with Sporting about the future of Inter target Joao Mario, with the Nerazzurri reported to have tabled an offer worth around €50million.
Luiz Gustavo is the fresh name on the scene for Inter. It has already been reported that the Nerazzurri are preparing a bid believed to be worth €20million for the midfielder, however it may point to the fact that Inter are resigned to losing Marcelo Brozovic.
Brazilian striker Gabigol has been talked about for a long time too now, with the player subject of a bid of €25 million to his club Santos from Inter, but discussions are unlikely to commence during the tournament.
Lorenzo Insigne is considered an alternative to Gabigol, but his arrival from Napoli remains a long-shot, even with his agent’s games.
