Marcelo Brozovic will be back on the Inter market in January to raise funds for a centre-back, according to the Corriere dello Sport.
The Croatia international midfielder was linked with clubs including Juventus, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, but no deal was made.
Brozovic is the main player who could be sacrificed in order to bring in fresh cash for a central defender.
He is not a first choice in the side and the 24-year-old cannot expect much playing time this season.
The midfielder has six goals in 26 senior caps for Croatia.
