Inter have set their sights on Atalanta and Colombia hitman Luis Muriel for next season, claims La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Nerazzurri are top of the Serie A table, but also crashed out of the Champions League at the group stage, and blame a lack of strength in depth for that failure.
Antonio Conte wants more attacking options and it’s reported Muriel is his first choice.
Inter have set their sights on Atalanta and Colombia hitman Luis Muriel for next season, claims La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Nerazzurri are top of the Serie A table, but also crashed out of the Champions League at the group stage, and blame a lack of strength in depth for that failure.
Antonio Conte wants more attacking options and it’s reported Muriel is his first choice.
Muriel’s explosive pace makes him a natural for Conte’s counter-attacking style of football, while he has shown with Atalanta that he doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight.
Despite not always starting, he has 16 Serie A goals so far this season, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku in the Capocannoniere charts.
It’s reported Muriel would be on the market for €25-30m, as he is already 30 years old and has a contract with Atalanta until June 2023.
