With Ramires now looking a distant target for Inter, the Nerazzurri are now on the lookout for alternatives to the Brazilian midfielder.

Premium Sport report that among others, Inter have identified LOSC Lille’s Yves Bissouma as a potential alternative to the 30-year-old.

Inter are eager to bring Bissouma to the club on loan with a €15 million redemption option this window but if successful it will not have been without difficulty due to a high number of other top clubs courting the Malian.

As for Kempf, the German is a central defender and has little over six months remaining on his current deal with the Bundesliga club, therefore meaning he could be brought in on the cheap. The 22-year-old has struggled with injuries this term missing no less than 14 games through mostly muscle related injuries. As a result, the multiple time German youth international has been limited to just seven appearances in all competitions.
