Inter plot move for £25m Arsenal target tipped as being Mesut Ozil replacement
Inter have joined the race for Barcelona star Arda Turan according to reports in Turkey.
Turkish sports newspaper Fanatik report that Inter are plotting a move.
Per the source, Inter are close to striking a deal which would appoint Diego Simeone as manager.
Inter are reported to be planning a squad overhaul and are keen on recruiting Turan who would be reunited with his former manager if all the stones were to fall into place.

Inter could however, face competition from Arsenal who have been closely linked with the Turkish international.
The Times recently reported that Arsenal are prepared to offer Turan £25 million as they prepare for a potential replacement for Mesut Ozil.
Ozil does however, still have over 12 months remaining on his contract and has yet to make a decision on his future.
CNN Turk meanwhile went one step further and reported that Barcelona have accepted a proposal from Arsenal to sign the 30-year-old.
Turan faces an uncertain future at Barcelona and the decision regarding whether he will stay on could end up being made by Luis Enrique’s replacement.
