Inter technical director Piero Ausilio met Axel Witsel's agent in a Milan hotel yesterday, but the Nerazzurri have yet to make a move for the Belgium international.
Witsel is expected to move on from current club Zenit St. Petersburg this summer and has been the subject of a transfer tug-of-war between Everton and Napoli.
Inter have been linked with entering the race and could well choose to do so.
According to Italian TV programme Qui Studio A Voi Stadio, the Nerazzurri's technical director Ausilio met Witsel's agent yesterday in a hotel in Milan. However, crucially, the Serie A giants have yet to make an official move for the midfielder and are at present just weighing up a bid.
Napoli managed to agree a fee of €22m plus €3m in bonus payments for Witsel, while Everton's offer of €25m has also met with success.

But the Belgium international, who was in action at Euro 2016 this summer, is taking his time before deciding upon his next move.
Witsel cost Zenit a fee of €40m to sign from Portuguese giants Benfica in 2012.
