Next week’s match with Udinese at San Siro will present Inter with an opportunity to get negotiations for Jakub Jankto underway according to Tuttosport.

The Nerazzurri have long followed the Czech and will look to take advantage of the long standing good relations with the Udinese leadership. Moreover, their relationship with the 21-year-old’s agent Giuseppe Riso – who represents Inter’s Roberto Gagliardini – will come in handy for them and their hopes of signing the midfielder.

Inter will start negotiations with the view toward a summer transfer. They are however not alone in courting Jankto. Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea have also registered an interest in his services. Due to this, his price tag has increased and he is now expected to cost clubs between €15-20 million. One club Inter will no longer have to worry about though is Milan, who are understood to have withdrawn their interest.

Jankto has been near ever present for the Bianconeri this term, appearing in 13 of their 15 games thus far scoring three and assisting two in the process.
