While it may seem crazy to even entertain such an idea, Inter are currently struggling for cash and who knows, they might be tempted.
The Italian club reportedly chasing a £146m cash injection in order to ensure they can continue running as a operation next season.
Meanwhile, Inter are said to have missed a payment to Manchester United as part of the deal which saw them sign Romelu Lukaku.
The Serie A leaders bought Lukaku for a mega fee of £73million in 2019, but it is understood they still owe £43m of that cash and a £4.3m bonus went unpaid recently.
