Inter Milan have reportedly entered the race to sign in-demand Ajax attacker Hakim Ziyech from Ajax this summer.
Ziyech has shot to prominence during Ajax's run to the semi-finals of the Champions League, scoring in both legs of their famous last-16 victory over Real Madrid.
The Moroccan's form has garnered the attention of a host of other top European clubs, including the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea from the Premier League.
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have also been credited with an interest in his signature, and France Football claims that Inter are now also ready to compete.
The Italian outfit are understood to see Ziyech as an alternative transfer option to Lille winger Nicolas Pepe, who is also wanted by a cluster of clubs this summer.
Ziyech is contracted to Ajax until 2021 but hinted that he could be open to a move away if the right club came knocking, with the Dutch giants expected to struggle to keep hold of their best players.
The 26-year-old joined Ajax in 2016 for just €11m (£9.5m) and is understood to have a £25m release clause in his contract.
