Reports in Italy claim that West Ham United made a large offer for Valentin Carboni, who is on loan at Monza, but Inter refused point blank.
The second striker will turn 19 in March and is already getting call-ups to the senior Argentina squad.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Premier League club is prepared to make a proposal worth €11m in order to sign Carboni in the January transfer window.
However, his parent club Inter is not interested in a sale at this stage of his career, confident that he can yet flourish and grow even further.
He spent time in the Lanus academy before moving to Catania and then Inter, released on loan to Monza this season to gain regular playing time.
The decision has certainly paid off, with two goals and three assists in 14 Serie A appearances.
His contract runs to June 2028 and Carboni is seen as one of the future talents of the Inter squad, to act as a partner to Lautaro Martinez.
