Inter are targeting Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi as a replacement for Samuel Eto'o, who looks set to leave the club this summer.
Eto'o, 30, is currently in negotiations with Anzhi Makhachkala after Inter received a mega offer from the Russian club.
Inter director of sport Marco Branca has now been in talks with Napoli for the Argentina international.
Branca spoke with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, but have been told it will take at least a £27 million (€31m) bid to land the 26-year-old.
However, the Coppa Italia winners are willing to tempt the San Paolo-based club with a cash-plus-player deal.
Goran Pandev, MacDonald Mariga and Davide Santon could be used as leverage to lower what appear to be high demands.
Inter have also been linked with Manchester City's Carlos Tevez, but the feeling in Italy is Lavezzi a significantly cheaper alternative in terms of wages.
It has been reported the Argentine currently earns around £1.2m (€1.4m) per annum at Napoli.
