Serie A pacesetters Inter Milan have reportedly set their sights on promising Dinamo Zagreb defender Leon Jakirovic.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Nerazzurri could soon open talks with the Croatian champions over the youngster’s move to San Siro.

Inter are reportedly on the verge of completing their first winter signing.

Indeed, they’ve found an agreement with Hajduk Split over the transfer of sought-after teenager Branimir Mlacic.

However, the 18-year-old will stay in his homeland until the summer to continue his development.

In addition to doing business with Hajduk, Inter may soon contact their bitter rivals for another acquisition.

Cristian Chivu’s men signed Petar Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb last winter.

Like in Mlacic’s case, they allowed the Croatian midfielder to stay in his country for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri are unlikely to negotiate Jakirovic’s arrival until the summer.

Left-footed Jakirovic could be an exciting addition to Chivu’s defense.
