Tottenham Hotspur's Croatian international midfielder Luka Modric is a summer transfer target for Inter, according to Tuttosport.
Should Inter be victorious in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich in Madrid tomorrow, it's believed that the club's coffers would be filled to the tune of around €70m - due to UEFA awards, cash receipts and TV rights, plus bonus on sponsorship, calling the advertising contracts and participation in the European Supercup and World Club Championship.
And Inter owner Massimo Moratti will reportedly gift to the team the money in the form of three players: Modric, Lazio defender Aleksander Kolarov and Palermo striker Edinson Cavani.
Kolarov and Cavani have been linked for months with moves to Inter and appear, according to Tuttosport, to be guaranteed to be Nerrazzurri players next season; however it is the move for Spurs playmaker which will be of the most interest.
Inter have long admired the talented player, since his time with Dinamo Zagreb, yet have never previously made a move.
However, the Italian champions appear to now be ready to make their move, following the player's terrific form in the Premier League where he has helped Spurs finish in fourth spot. They are believed to be ready to use Sulley Muntari, the Ghana international who worked with current Spurs boss Harry Redknapp during his time at Portsmouth, as a bargaining tool.
However, the fee for Modric would greatly eclipse the €21m he cost Spurs in 2008, whilst a key point would be to see where the Inter hierarchy see him fitting into a team that already contains Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder.
