Inter are locked in another transfer battle with Juventus over a deal for Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic, according to Tuttosport.
Both clubs have the player’s approval and would become very interested if the Croatian became available on loan with an obligation to buy.
Juventus could offer Barca a swap deal involving Emre Can, who is destined to spend most of this season on the bench under Maurizio Sarri.
Paris Saint-Germain are also strongly interested in Rakitic and remain hopeful of signing him in a part-exchange deal for Neymar.
Rakitic confirmed he was open to the idea of joining the French champions yesterday, in a transfer that would ultimately be worth more than €200 million.
Barcelona have told PSG they cannot meet their asking price for Neymar unless they are allowed to spread payment across several years.
Rakitic scored five goals and created 10 assists for Ernesto Valverde’s side last season, as they secured yet another La Liga title and reached the Champions League semi-finals.
Inter were linked heavily with a move for the 2018 World Cup finalist earlier this year, but their interest appears to have cooled since.
