Inter are thought to be preparing a new €30m offer for San Paolo star Lucas, engaging in a transfer battle with Manchester United.
The Brazilian international creative midfielder has long been mentioned as the prime target for President Massimo Moratti.
His agent was in Britain this week, fuelling reports of advanced negotiations with Manchester United, but there are still discussions over his fee.
San Paolo want €40m for Lucas, whereas Inter and Man Utd are not prepared to go above €30m.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri are hoping to gather together enough cash to tempt Lucas into choosing San Siro.
If this move were to fail in the next seven days, then Inter would turn instead to Bologna’s Gaston Ramirez or Catania man Alejandro Gomez.
