Inter are hoping to sign Julian Draxler from Paris Saint-Germain as part of the Joao Mario deal.

Axar.az reports citing Corriere dello Sport, wednesday’s front page of the newspaper insists the German international is the primary target in any exchange.

PSG have shown their interest in Joao Mario, who has signed from Sporting CP only a year ago for €40m plus bonuses.

It has long been suggested the Nerazzurri want a player exchange in order to part with the Portugal international.

While so far names mentioned have been Serge Aurier and Javier Pastore, the new target is Draxler.

The left-sided winger turns 24 next month and only joined Paris Saint-Germain from Wolfsburg in January for €40m.

Draxler’s departure would be part of a chain reaction sparked by Neymar’s imminent move from Barcelona to Paris, claims the Corriere.

It would inevitably have another knock-on effect, as Draxler plays in the same position as Manchester United target Ivan Perisic.
