Inter Milan will target Nicolo Rovella if Hakan Calhanoglu leaves, while they could go after Adrian Bernabe either way.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan are planning out their future in midfield. And the Nerazzurri’s plans hinge completely on the future of Hakan Calhanoglu.

It is no secret that Galatasaray want to sign the 31-year-old. Inter, for their part, will hold out for a fee of around €40 million.

And if Calhanoglu goes, then Inter will certainly do everything to replace the Turkish international.

Inter Milan To Target Nicolo Rovella If Calhanoglu Leaves – Rovella Could Leave Either Way

According to the Gazzetta, Lazio’s Nicolo Rovella would be Inter’s top target in the event that Hakan Calhanoglu is to head for the exit door.

The 23-year-old is somewhere between a like-for-like replacement for Calhanoglu, and a profile that Inter don’t already have in their midfield.

Rovella has a €50 million release clause in his contract with Lazio. That means that he wouldn’t come cheap – but a deal for him would be relatively straightforward to wrap up.

Meanwhile, Parma midfielder Adrian Bernabe is also on Inter’s radar. Particularly after Cristian Chivu’s arrival as coach.

The Gazzetta report that Bernabe could be part of the succession plan for Calhanoglu. However, the 24-year-old could also be a target even if the Turk stays.
