Inter is focusing on further strengthening its attacking line ahead of the upcoming season. After securing Bonny from Parma and welcoming Pio Esposito back from his loan, the club still seeks a dynamic and technical player to enhance its tactical rotation.
With Arnautović and Correa leaving on free transfers, and Taremi potentially heading to Besiktas, Fulham, or Nottingham Forest, Inter is in need of bolstering options. Meanwhile, Valentin Carboni has gone on loan to Genoa.
According to “Corriere dello Sport,” Ademola Lookman has emerged as Inter’s primary target. The Nigerian forward is under contract with Atalanta until 2027, with the Bergamo side valuing him at 50 million euros. Since his 2022 transfer from Leipzig for 10.85 million euros, Lookman has participated in 118 matches, notching 52 goals and providing 25 assists.
Should the move for Lookman fail to materialise, Inter has lined up several backup options. The club’s wishlist includes Lois Openda from Leipzig, Eliesse Ben Seghir from Monaco, and Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea. Additionally, Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho has been proposed to Inter, though his acquisition is considered a less immediate priority.
Manager Cristian Chivu is in pursuit of a player capable of adapting to various tactical setups, especially formations such as 3-4-2-1 and 4-3-3. The ideal candidate would bring versatility and fresh attacking dynamics to complement the current squad.
