Manchester City and Liverpool have signed Erling Haaland and Darwin Núñez respectively and the next Premier League star striker could arrive from Serie A.
The Premier League giants have already completed two of the best signings of the summer, securing the services of Haaland and Núñez, two of the most exciting strikers in Europe, along with PSG’s Kylian Mbappé and Juventus‘ Dusan Vlahovic.
The Reds and City are expected to be again the leading Premier League title contenders in 2022-23, but more English clubs are looking for new strikers next season. Among them, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United have all set their sights on Serie A stars.
Lautaro to Tottenham, Correa to Newcastle and more: how Inter can afford Dybala and Lukaku
Victor Osimhen, Gianluca Scamacca and Lautaro Martinez are among the centre forwards who could move to the Premier League from Italy during the summer transfer window, although their signing won’t come cheap for any suitor.
Lautaro has just completed his best season in Serie A, scoring 21 goals in 35 appearances. Scamacca netted 16 in 36 games, while Osimhen managed 14 goals in 27 games, missing more than two months of action with a cheekbone injury.
Arsenal are following both Scamacca and Osimhen, but Sassuolo value the Italy international at €50m, while Napoli won’t let Osi leave for less than €100m. They already rejected a similar offer from Newcastle United in the January transfer window.
According to Sky Sport Italia, PSG have made the first step towards signing Scamacca, but their €35m bid plus add-ons is still not enough for the Neroverdi.
Chelsea and Tottenham have been linked with Lautaro, but there are still no official offers for Inter. His agent claimed last week that El Toro doesn’t want to leave, also considering his recent contract extension until June 2026.
However, the Nerazzurri are in talks for Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku and will need to sell one striker plus Alexis Sanchez to afford both strikers. Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are admirers of the Argentina international and the former Juventus director made an offer to sign him a year ago. However, it was too late at that time as Inter had already agreed to sell Lukaku to Chelsea.
What is this English propaganda
I come to football-italia for my daily EPL news. Keep up the great work guys.
Slow news day ey FI??!!
I don’t know why anyone would want to join PSG… Scamacca has a short track record and has shown nothing really. If he wants to be a bench warmer all his career be my guest..
Lautro is not going anywhere he wants to stay it’s time for this site to stop writing always against Inter
@mike, don’t all of these players play for Italian clubs? Wouldn’t their transfers have an impact on those clubs and the league? How is this “EPL news”?
@Vero Rossonero… “could move” is not a news! Any body “can move” to any team. So why EPL selectively? Maybe people here tired of reading these kind of lazy fantasy articles about EPL teams? Why not write some articles to actually analyze where “put any Italian team name here” can improve for next season? Yes I am talking about any team in Serie A, even Monza?
@Vero Rossonero
This site is becoming more and more epl-friendly as time goes by. I think they’re trying to push into that market to get more clicks off the hyped up league.
But it’s sad to see Serie A seen as nothing but a feeder league to the epl now. And in fairness, it is.
It’s just a shame that many Serie A sides are too lazy to produce their own players and sign rough diamonds. They’d rather pick up “names” from the epl that are going downhill.
It’s no wonder people don’t take Serie A seriously in Europe anymore.
