Inter Milan have three top midfield names pencilled in for their 2011 shopping list.
Corriere dello Sport says fitness doubts for Esteban Cambiasso has Inter lining up at least two midfield signings in the New Year.
For the January market, Inter will go with Rafa Benitez's recommendation and move for Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva. Inter are confident of a deal for the Brazilian, who has lost his first-choice status since Benitez's departure.
Then in June, Inter will bid for Bayern Munich midfield powerhouse Bastian Schweinsteiger.
If the Germans refuse to do business, Inter will turn to another of Benitez's former Liverpool players in Xabi Alonso, now with Real Madrid.
