Serie A giant make contact for Arsenal star, willing for a loan-to-buy offer deal

Serie A champions Inter Milan are reportedly ready to bid for Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin as Achraf Hakimi continue to be linked with a move away from the club.

Hakimi’s performance with Inter Milan last season has him become one of the most sorts after talent in Europe.

Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are reportedly willing to bring him to their squad, and Inter Milan ready to let him go when his valuation is met.

According to uber-reliable Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter Milan have now identified Bellerin as Hakimi’s replacement.

A report on his official website states the Nerazzurri are considering a loan-to-buy deal for the Spaniard who has been linked with a move out of Arsenal this summer.

Bellerin has been with Arsenal since 2011, making a total of 239 senior appearances, and the Gunners are hoping to scoop up around €20 million for the 26-year-old Spaniard.

Though the transfer might not be a problem for Inter Milan, who will profit from the sale of some players in their squad, Chelsea full-back Davide Zappacosta, who spent last season on loan at Genoa, is also listed as an option.
