According to TWM via FCInterNews, the 27-year-old is on the verge of leaving De Kuip after three years.

Hancko is not Inter’s top target, though he is among the club’s considered options for defensive reinforcements.

Indeed, Parma wonderkid Giovanni Leoni remains Inter’s top priority.

Yet, the 18-year-old’s price tag is outside Inter’s reach, with Parma holding out for a €40 million asking price.

Therefore, the San Siro giants are keeping all other alternatives open, including Hancko.

Meanwhile, the Dutch heavyweights have identified Valentin Gomez as Hancko’s replacement.

Feyenoord’s search for a new defender suggests they are preparing for the Slovakian’s summer departure.

As for Inter, this could be an encouraging sign.
