Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the Serie A side are viewing the potential of signing Lille’s Jonathan David, Sassuolo’s Gianluca Scamacca and Juventus’ Paulo Dybala.

The operation would depend on the Nerazzurri offloading Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez in the summer, with the club said to be unconvinced by the pair. Martinez, 24, only recently signed a new contract to ward off interest from other clubs at the time, however the situation appears to have changed for the Argentine.

Canada international striker David is linked as an option for Inter, with the 22-year-old said to be valued at €50 million by Lille. The striker has scored 12 goals in 24 Ligue 1 appearances this season, becoming a leading figure for his national team in their qualification for the 2022 World Cup.

As for Dybala, the 28-year-old is out of contract with Juventus at the end of the season, with Inter looking to capitalise on the forward potentially leaving their Serie A rivals.

Sassuolo striker Scamacca is said to be a long-term target of Simone Inzaghi, with the 23-year-old impressing in the league this season, scoring nine goals in 23 appearances.
