Inter could send Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa to Benfica in exchange for Lisandro Lopez on loan.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the two clubs are discussing a potential swap for the 2017-18 campaign.
Argentina international Lisandro Lopez turns 28 next month and would bring valuable experience to the centre of defence.
Gabigol was bought from Santos a year ago for €29.5m, but did not get a single Serie A start and will now be loaned out to gain experience.

Sporting CP had been very close to a deal, but insisted on paying only for his car and accommodation, leaving Inter to stump up his full salary.
The Nerazzurri were unconvinced by this idea and turned towards Benfica instead.
Malaga are another alternative in La Liga for the 21-year-old Brazilian, while Porto are also now being linked by Sky Sport Italia.
