Nicolo Rovella The Main Target To Replace Hakan Calhanoglu At Inter Milan

Inter Milan are far from unwilling to sell Hakan Calhanoglu this summer.

However, the Nerazzurri would certainly have to replace the Turkish international.

And there is one name that has come up as a possible replacement.

Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella has a similar profile to Calhanoglu. And he has grown significantly over the last few seasons with the Biancocelesti and Monza.

Moreover, as the Gazzetta note, Rovella grew up near the city of Milan. He grew up in a family of Inter supporters.

The Italian was also a part of a youth academy affiliated with Inter. However, after a trial he did not become a part of the senior team.

The Gazzetta report, however, that Lazio have no intention of letting Rovella leave. Therefore, Inter would have to pay his €50 million release clause.
