Six Inter players are expected to leave the Stadio Meazza after Edin Dzeko, while Chelsea are reportedly furious with Romelu Lukaku who has rejected a new offer from Al-Hilal.
The Nerazzurri have practically no transfer budget so they must sell some of their players before making new purchases.
André Onana’s agents are in talks with Manchester United and the Red Devils are ready to place an opening offer for the Nerazzurri who want at least €50m for the Cameroon international.
Edin Dzeko has already joined Fenerbahce as a free agent and three more players’ won’t extend their expiring contracts with the Nerazzurri. Friday’s printed edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (page 5) claims Samir Handanovic, Danilo D’Ambrosio and Roberto Gagliardini will leave on June 30. Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta could replace D’Ambrosio, as per Sky Sport Italia.
Marcelo Brozovic and Robin Gosens are also expected to leave. The pink paper confirms Union Berlin have reached a principle of agreement with the German left-back, but Inter want at least €15m.
The asking price for Brozovic is €25m and the Nerazzurri expect a new bid from Al-Nassr by the weekend with the Croatia international who has already agreed on personal terms with the Saudi club.
Inter’s transfer strategies are somehow strictly linked to Saudi clubs. Il Corriere dello Sport (page 7) claims Lukaku has rejected a new offer from Al-Hilal. His agent confirmed on Thursday that the Belgian wanted to continue playing in Europe.
Tuttosport (page 16) adds that Al-Hilal were ready to offer €68m, so Lukaku’s refusal infuriated Chelsea. The Belgian striker only wants to return to Inter who, however, currently don’t have the money to bring him back considering that Chelsea won’t accept a new loan deal.
Lukaku said less than two years ago that he’d never join Milan, but the Rossoneri are now interested in the 30-year-old and will compete with Inter for him, Marcus Thuram and Davide Frattesi.
