First of all, Lazio's Nicolo Rovella would be one option as far as a like-for-like replacement for Calhanoglu.
The 23-year-old has a €50 million release clause at Lazio. Therefore, even though the Biancocelesti aren't keen to sell him, if Inter make that offer then they'd be powerless to stop him from leaving.

Inter Milan pushing for Giovanni Leoni after Ange-Yoan Bonny deal
Inter Milan are looking to sign Parma's young defender Giovanni Leoni during the summer transfer window (h/t La Gazzetta dello Sport). The Nerazzurri have reached an agreement worth up to €26 million for the signing of Parma striker Ange Yoan-Bonny, who is expected to have his medicals tomorrow. Advertisement They have now set their sights on his Parma team-mate Leoni. Having worked with the 18-year-old at Parma, Inter manager Cristian Chivu is looking to reunite with Leoni at San Siro. The Italian centre-back emerged as one of the best young talents in Serie A last season, playing a pivotal role in Parma's escape from relegation. His impressive performances have also caught the attention of fellow Italian giants AC Milan and Juventus. But the Nerazzurri will have the edge in the transfer race due to Chivu's presence. They are ready to spend up to €30 million for Leoni. Chivu has identified the Italian prodigy as a top target to reinforce their ageing backline. Advertisement Francesco Acerbi has entered the final year of his contract, although Inter have the option to terminate his deal this summer. The Italian giants are also open to selling the German centre-back Yann Aurel Bisseck. They look to reinvest the proceeds from his sale in Leoni. The former Padova star has the potential to succeed at Inter and form a great partnership with his compatriot Alessandro Bastoni. Leoni can also enhance his chances of a senior team call-up from Italy by sealing a move to Inter. The Nerazzurri have already signed Petar Sucic and Luis Henrique this summer.
