Inter Milan may lose Hakan Calhanoglu this summer, with Nicolo Rovella emerging as a top candidate to fill the vacancy.
According to Sport Mediaset, the Turkey captain has generated genuine interest from the Saudi Pro League.
Despite renewing his contract at San Siro two years ago, Hakan Calhanoglu could quit Serie A in the coming months.
Indeed, several Saudi clubs are contemplating summer offers for the 31-year-old, whose deal at Inter runs out in 2027.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri must prepare for a worst-case scenario.
Inter Milan Line Up Nicolo Rovella as Hakan Calhanoglu Heir Amid Saudi Links
Calhanoglu turned down Bayern Munich’s approach last summer.
However, things could change this time, with wealthy Saudi clubs ready to table lucrative offers that may prove too tempting to resist.
Though Inter would ideally keep hold of the ex-AC Milan star, they cannot afford to take anything for granted.
As a result, the 20-time Italian champions have already prepared Plan B.
Lazio ace Nicolo Rovella has caught Inter’s eye after an impressive season at Stadio Olimpico.
Yet, the 23-year-old won’t come cheap, considering he has a substantial €50 million release clause.
