At the start of this month, local website Centrotrentuno explained Leeds United, Inter Milan and AS Roma want to sign Cagliari’s Nahitan Nández.
Over the past few days, the Nerazzurri and the Whites have been pushed forward as contenders to take the 25-year-old this summer.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu could have an indirect role in helping Marcelo Bielsa’s side land the Uruguay international.
Çalhanoğlu’s contract at AC Milan expires at the end of this month and he’s confirmed he will join Inter on a free transfer.
According to Calcio Casteddu, the ‘reverberation’ of the Turkey international’s move to Inter could be felt at Cagliari as they are ‘aiming to make a significant capital gain’ from Nandez.
It’s claimed Çalhanoğlu will replace Christian Eriksen in the Inter squad and the salary associated with these two players could make it difficult for Inter to pay the €36m fee requested by Cagliari for Nández.
The report also adds that a few days ago, Leeds had ‘overtaken’ Inter in the chase for Nández, and his move to Elland Road could be much likelier, with Çalhanoğlu’s imminent arrival at Inter.
