There are growing reports Inter are open to selling Luis Henrique to Besiktas, but only if certain conditions are met and they have a replacement, potentially the return of Ivan Perisic.
Sky Sport Italia, Sport Mediaset and more all claim that the negotiations had been abandoned, but are now back in full swing.
Besiktas seem determined to secure the Brazilian, who only came to San Siro over the summer from Olympique Marseille for €22.8m plus €2m in add-ons.
He has struggled so far this season with one assist in 23 competitive appearances, pushed into the starting XI by a long-term injury for Denzel Dumfries.
Inter would be prepared to release Luis Henrique, but only for some very specific conditions.
They are demanding it is either a permanent transfer, or at least a loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season.
The Nerazzurri are also warning they have to get a replacement ready first, as Dumfries is out of action following surgery.
Their most likely alternative is Perisic, who could return to San Siro after his first experience from 2020 to 2022.
Since then, the Croatia international has represented Tottenham Hotspur, Hajduk Split, and is currently with PSV Eindhoven.
He is just days away from his 37th birthday, but has been very impressive this season with five goals and 10 assists in 26 games.
