Cagliari midfielder Nicolò Barella is 'destined' to join Inter this summer after learning that Antonio Conte has taken over at San Siro, while the Nerazzurri are also close to completing a deal for Hertha BSC winger Valentino Lazaro.
Even before Conte was officially appointed in Milan, the club were lining up a list of transfer targets ahead of the new season, most notably including Edin Du017eeko and Romelu Lukaku.
But the race to see who will be the first through the doors at Inter is still up for debate, with La Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting that either Barella or Lazaro could actually be the club's first signings this summer.
