Report – Atalanta Star Leapfrogs Lazio Midfielder On Inter Milan List Of Targets To Replace Outgoing Stalwart | OneFootball

Ederson and Nicolo Rovella are the two likeliest candidates to replace outgoing Inter Milan star Hakan Calhanoglu.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Atalanta star has overtaken the Lazio ace in the pecking order.

Therefore, Inter will prioritize a move for the 25-year-old once they’ve arranged the Turk’s exit.

Meanwhile, Hakan Calhanoglu is inching ever closer to joining Galatasaray.

Indeed, Lautaro Martinez’s recent statement may have been the final straw to break the camel’s back.

Inter Milan Prioritize Move for Ederson Over Nicolo Rovella to Replace Hakan Calhanoglu

Ederson would be a massive coup for Inter. However, Atalanta value their prized asset at no less than €50 million.

Furthermore, La Dea would ideally keep hold of the Brazilian as they did last summer amid Liverpool’s interest.

Yet, Calhanoglu’s departure would probably force Inter’s hand.

Beppe Marotta may need to go to great lengths to replace the 31-year-old playmaker.

As such, Inter could break the bank to sign Ederson.

Meanwhile, they could also raise funds from Davide Frattesi’s sale.

Unsettled and frustrated, the ex-Sassuolo midfielder could soon cut ties with the Nerazzurri.
