Report – Inter Milan Evaluating Late Summer Bid For ‘Indispensable’ Olympiacos Midfielder | OneFootball

Inter Milan could reportedly submit a late summer bid for highly-rated Olympiacos midfielder Santiago Hezze.

According to Greek media outlet Athletiko via FCInterNews, the Italian giants are evaluating a last-gasp swoop for the Argentine.

Inter’s focus remains on Ademola Lookman for the time being.

However, the Nerazzurri could still add to Christian Chivu’s midfield options despite Hakan Calhanoglu’s decision to stay.

Indeed, the Serie A runners-up are evaluating several market opportunities to strengthen their engine room.

Inter have decided to part ways with Piotr Zielinski.

Despite joining the club as one of the best midfielders in Serie A, the 31-year-old has struggled at San Siro.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri are keen to cash in on the former Napoli star.

Genoa’s Morten Frendrup has emerged as a potential target for Chivu’s side.

However, they must sort out Zielinski’s future.

Meanwhile, they’re keeping other options open, including Santiago Hezze.

Yet, Olympiacos manager Jose Luis Mendilibar reportedly views the 23-year-old as ‘non-transferable.’

As such, Inter cannot expect to sign the ex-Flamengo ace on favorable terms.
