Inter Milan have begun preparing for the possibility that they may lose midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, with Genoa’s Morten Frendrup sounded out as a replacement.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Tuttosport, and via FCInterNews.it, the Nerazzurri could cash in on Calhanoglu, with Fenerbahce waiting in the wings to complete a deal for the Turkish international.
Whilst Inter are waiting to determine Calhanoglu’s plans, they are determined not to be left scrambling for a replacement and have already begun work on securing a deal for Frendrup.
The Norway international would represent an affordable alternative to Calhanoglu, with the 24-year-old enjoying two positive seasons in Serie A with the Grifone.
Indeed, the former Brondby player has proven himself to be a reliable figure at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, having only missed four games across two seasons.
Frendrup helped Genoa finish comfortably in 13th place last season and Inter could step up their interest should Calhanoglu depart.
