Brazilian winger Lucas could be the Nerazzurri big January signing. Inter are ready to bid for the Sao Paulo player despite his €30M price tag.

Claudio Ranieri specifically requested reinforcements for the Nerazzurri flanks in January and director Marco Branca is also following Pablo Armero from Udinese.

Inter have also been linked to Michel Bastos from Lyon, Oussama Assaidi from Hereenveen and Milos Krasic from Juventus, but Lucas remains their first choice.
