According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Bayer midfield player Granit Xhaka has become the main transfer target for Milan’s Inter.

The former Arsenal player was previously linked with Milan and Juventus, but currently, Inter is considered the favorite in the battle for the 31-year-old midfielder. While another club target—Ederson from Atalanta—is valued at 60 million euros, Xhaka may be available for a significantly lower amount—between 12 and 15 million.
However, Inter will only begin negotiations regarding Çalhanoğlu’s replacement in the event of an official offer from Galatasaray. At the moment, the Turkish club has not made a concrete proposal, and the Milan team is only willing to consider selling their key midfielder for an amount exceeding 25 million euros.
