Inter will face competition from Barcelona if they want to sign Aissa Mandi from Real Betis, according to a report in the Spanish media today.

Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo (via FcInterNews.it) said Barca had cast their eye upon the Algerian defender, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

Inter are one of the other main contenders to sign Mandi, but the Nerazzurri will also need to fend off interest from Ligue 1 high-flyers Lyon.

Mandi has made 28 appearances in all competitions for Real Betis this season, scoring three times and providing two assists.

Inter are likely to need at least one new centre-back in the summer, with Andrea Ranocchia and Aleksandar Kolarov both out of contract at the end of the season.

Antonio Conte will almost certainly continue with Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni as his first-choice back three for next season, but the Nerazzurri will need to refresh their alternative options.
