Bayern Munich misfit Joao Palhinha has emerged as the likeliest candidate to replace Hakan Calhanoglu at Inter Milan.

According to Corriere della Sera via FCInter1908, the San Siro giants have chosen the 30-year-old as the Turk’s heir.

Joao Palhinha has landed on Beppe Marotta’s shortlist out of the blue.

Indeed, after being priced out of a move for Atalanta’s Ederson, Inter had to expand their search.

Therefore, they’ve shifted their attention toward the ex-Fulham star.

Inter Milan Identify Joao Palhinha as Hakan Calhanoglu Heir

Palhinha joined Vincent Kompany’s side last summer for a reported fee of €51 million.

Despite his superb Premier League form, the Portuguese ace has failed to settle in the Bundesliga.

After a disappointing first season at the Allianz Stadium, he could pack his bags again.

Whether he would move to Inter depends on Hakan Calhanoglu.

Indeed, courted by Galatasaray, the 31-year-old is yet to remove doubts around his future.

Although Inter would preferably keep hold of the ex-AC Milan playmaker, everything is still hanging in the balance.
