Selling just Hakan Calhanoglu will not be enough for Inter Milan to afford a move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.
Inter Milan are bracing for the possible exit of midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.
The Turkish international is a target for Galatasaray. And if he is to personally push for the move, then the Nerazzurri won’t stand in his way.
If Calhanoglu brings a sufficient offer to Inter, they will sell the Turkish international.
Tuttosport report that, while Inter will hardly sell Calhanoglu for Galatasaray’s opening bid of €a5 million, they would likely be willing make a deal for around €25 million if it’s what the player asks for.
If Inter Milan are to sell Calhanoglu, they’ll obviously move to replace the 31-year-old.
Tuttosport report that Atalanta midfielder Ederson would be Inter’s top target in this respect.
However, the 25-year-old will not come cheap. Atalanta are reportedly seeking a fee of around €50 million for him.
Of course, the fee for Calhanoglu could go part of the way towards a deal for Ederson. But it would not cover the full amount.
Therefore, Inter will be looking to offload other players – such as Kristjan Asllani, Yann Bisseck, and Mehdi Taremi – to afford a deal for Ederson.
Meanwhile, Tuttosport reports, Inter’s backup target for replacing Calhanoglu would be Angelo Stiller, Morten Hjulmand, and Morten Frendrup.
