Salernitana held Galatasaray to a 1-1 draw today, but they also realised Andrea Pinamonti won’t join from Inter, so turned back towards Krzysztof Piatek.
The Serie A side completed their pre-season tour of Austria with this draw, having taken the lead through Erik Botheim, cancelled out almost immediately by Haris Seferovic.
In other news, Sky Sport Italia report that Salernitana have failed in their attempts to convince Pinamonti to accept a permanent transfer to the Stadio Arechi from Inter.
They had agreed terms with the club, but the player has no intention of making what he sees as a step down in his career.
Instead, they are stepping up negotiations with Hertha Berlin for Piatek, who spent the last six months on loan at Fiorentina.
The Poland international would be available on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Salernitana already signed Federico Bonazzoli from Sampdoria after last season’s loan spell.
