In recent days, Inter management have reportedly met in secret with Barcelona to discuss Ivan Rakitic.
While the Nerazzurri offered €35 million, Barça asked for €45 million, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
A deal for the Croatian midfielder could be potentially reached at €40 million with Inter ready to offer at least a three-year contract to the 30-year-old.
After securing the signature of Diego Godin, Inter are looking to sign another top player from La Liga.
