According to Sky Italy via SunSport, Inter might be forced to have a deal with Chelsea as they are, in return, on the trail of Emerson Palmieri and Andreas Christensen.
It was gathered that the Stamford Bridge club are keen to ship out Palmieri, having fallen down the pecking order behind Ben Chilwell and Marcos Alonso on the left-side of defence.
Hakimi, 22, is predominantly right-sided, so would provide competition for England star Reece James.
The Moroccan scored seven goals and bagged 10 assists as Inter coasted to the Serie A title last season.

The Norwegian striker is now the Bkues number one target after Romelu Lukaku recently insisted that he would not be leaving Inter Milan this summer.
According to Norwegian journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft, the 20-year-old has become their prime target.
