A potential move to Inter is not completely dead in the water for Napoli ace Dries Mertens according to a report from Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.com.

Inter have been strongly linked with the Belgian national team attacker for months now given his contract with Napoli is set to expire at the end of the season.

There is understood to have been talks between Mertens and Napoli earlier on this month to discuss terms over a new deal but there has still been no offer made and Mertens could therefore begin to look around and see what other options he has.

As per the report, Inter are ready to offer the 32-year-old, who has been with the Stadio San Paolo club since 2013, a two year deal with an annual salary of €5 million plus bonuses.

This season Mertens has made 29 appearances across all competitions to date. In little under 1800 minutes on the field in total, he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists for teammates.
