Inter Milan 'beat Liverpool, Leeds United to Rodrigo De Paul'

Inter Milan have reportedly identified Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul as their preferred replacement for Christian Eriksen.

The Italian giants are currently facing significant financial issues, leading to them pushing to part ways with at least one player during the January window.

Having failed to make an impact at San Siro, Eriksen is among the players who will be allowed to leave before the end of the month.

According to Tuttosport, head coach Antonio Conte would like to strengthen his squad with the addition of De Paul.

The Argentina international, who has been linked with Liverpool and Leeds United, is expected to sign for Inter during the summer transfer window.

However, the report claims that club officials are exploring ways to finalise a deal during the final 12 days of January, particularly if they can remove Eriksen's wages from their outgoings.
