According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Inter will closely monitor Verona talent Reda Belahyane in tomorrow’s Serie A game at the Bentegodi as they believe the 20-year-old could become Hakan Calhanoglu’s heir.

Defending Serie A champions Inter have set their sights on Verona midfielder Belahyane and will scout the Morocco international tomorrow in an away Serie A game at the Stadio Bentegodi.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Inter believe Belahyane could become a long-time replacement for 30-year-old midfielder Calhanoglu who will miss tomorrow’s fixture due to a muscle injury sustained during the November break with Turkey national team.

Potentially, the Nerazzurri may have to battle their city rivals Milan for the signing of Belahyane next summer, given that Gazzetta reported last week that the Rossoneri were also interested in the 20-year-old.

Belahyane made his Serie A debut last season, collecting two appearances in Italy’s top flight.

The Morocco international has two assists in 11 Serie A appearances with Verona this season.
