Inter have reportedly started looking for Achraf Hakimi’s replacement at right-back, and Manuel Lazzari, Hector Bellerin and Davide Zappacosta are being linked with the Nerazzurri.
Hakimi seems set to be sacrificed to settle the accounts at Inter and lighten the budget, but the former Real Madrid player is hard to replace.
The Morocco international arrived from Real Madrid last summer and helped Inter win their first Scudetto in 11 years.
Hakimi played 37 Serie A games under Antonio Conte last term, contributing an impressive seven goals and 10 assists in the process.
But the wing-back seems set to depart Milan already after one season, as Inter are looking to make at least €65m on his sale.
Of the amount received, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Inter are prepared to spend €15m to replace him and the Beneamata has targeted Lazio full-back Lazzari.
Arsenal’s Spanish right-back Hector Bellerin is also mentioned as a possible operation to fill the gap left behind by Hakimi, whilst 29-year-old Davide Zappacosta could be a low-cost option, as his deal with Chelsea expires next summer.
Denzel Dumfries has been linked with the Nerazzurri, but the Netherlands defender will cost too much.
