Inter eye Bellarabi and Semedo
That's why Piero Ausilio, the club's Sport Department CEO, was in Spain during the last two days of Champions League matches.
On Tuesday he has been noticed at the Camp Nou, in Barcelona, where the Catalans defeated the German side Bayer Leverkusen with a narrow win for 2-1.
According to Corriere dello Sport Ausilio's target on Tuesday night was Karim Bellarabi, 25 year old offensive winger playing for Bayer. Bellarabi has been on the Nerazzurri's radar also last summer, but the club eventually picked [Stevan] Jovetic from Manchester City and [Ivan] Perisic from Wolfsburg. Bellarabi's contract is due to expire in 2020, but FC Internazionale could make a move next summer, if the team led by Roberto Mancini will obtain a pass for next season's Champions League.
The following day, Ausilio has been spotted at the Vicente Calderon, in Madrid, where, among the others, he focused on the right back Nelson Cabral Semedo, 22, from Benfica.
FC Internazionale have actually eight back wingers in the team, but Roberto Mancini is still looking for a good balance of the roster as Martin Montoya is not on the manager's plan, such as Yuto Nagatomo and Antonio D'Ambrosio who are also set to leave the club next winter.
On the other hand, Semedo's deal with Benfica will terminate in 2021, but the date could soon be postponed as the board of the Portouguese club is set to offer him a new contract proposal, which will aslo include a clause release.
FC Internazionale made a massive effort in the last market window having spent € 91.42 million and cashed in € 86.45 million.
