The 27-year-old was also linked with several Premier League teams as well as Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.

Inter Milan will need to fill the gap left by Christian Eriksen in the midfield after the Denmark attacker unexpectedly suffered a life-threatening cardiac arrest during his national side's opening Euro 2020 fixture. Hence, it is unclear whether the Danish playmaker will ever return to football again as several doctors are likely to advise him against doing so. Even if Eriksen were to return to Simone Inzaghi's side in the upcoming season, it is likely to take a while before he finally does so. Fans can also expect more Inter Milan transfer news during this window as the Serie A champions will need to bolster their squad if they want to better their chances of defending their title next season.
