In the second part of her interview with Sky Sport Italia, Rafaela Piementa said she would ‘knock on Inter‘s door’ to learn their plans for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and insisted that Milan and Napoli could be two options for Lazar Samardzic.
The renowned players’ agent spoke to Sky Sport Italia from Turin after the launch of the 2023 Golden Boy Award.
After discussing the futures of her clients Marco Verratti and Paul Pogba, Pimenta opened up about another prominent player she represents: Inter’s Mkhitaryan.
“He has a year left in his contract with Inter, but obviously, we’ll talk to the club to understand their project on the player,” she said.
“Now, we leave him in peace, then I’ll surely knock on the Nerazzurri’s door.”
Udinese‘s Lazar Samardiz is also on her agenda and has been linked with a summer move to Milan or Napoli.
“To me, he is a phenomenon. He has great potential and hopefully Milan and Napoli will be two options. Let’s see how it goes.”
The Rossoneri have also scouted Turkish talent Arda Guler, but Pimenta is unsure the 18-year-old will leave Fenerbache despite a €17m clause.
“I don’t know if he will be a name for the summer transfer window, but he is a talent, and he’d score in any league,” admitted his agent.
Pimenta concluded by saying that Erling Haaland and Donyell Malen won’t leave their clubs in the summer. “Haaland contributed to City’s Treble. All the rest, including the Ballon d’Or, which we hope, would be extra. Erling will stay in Manchester.
“I don’t think Malen will leave. He’s a starter at Borussia Dortmund. Some Serie A clubs like him and the transfer market in Italy will always be important.”
