Inter have already decided not to move to make Lukas Podolski's stay at the club permanent in the summer and are assessing other options, according to Italian daily Tuttosport.
The Nerazzurri only signed Podolski on loan from Arsenal in the recently closed winter transfer window, with the German heading to Milan hoping to play more first team football.
But his time at the club suffered an early blow when Inter coach Roberto Mancini chose to add fellow new arrival Xherdan Shaqiri to his Europa League squad list in preference to the German.
Now Inter have, it has been claimed, already decided against trying to keep Podolski when his loan from Arsenal expires.
Indeed, the Serie A giants are looking at other options, with a list which includes Paris Saint-Germain's Ezequiel Lavezzi.

The Argentine is likely to quit the Parc des Princes in the summer and his stock remains high in Serie A due to a spell with Napoli.
Inter may attempt to include Fredy Guarin in any deal to sign Lavezzi.
Podolski has so far made five appearances in Serie A for Inter, providing his team-mates with one assist. He has however only completed 90 minutes once.
