Inter are keeping tabs on both Parma strikers, Ange-Yoan Bonny and Mateo Pellegrino, to replenish their attack, which will lose multiple deputies, and they are among the many suitors for Giovanni Leoni.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Nerazzurri plot to make a splash for a new center-forward. The young Frenchman is seen as a strong option to deputize Marcus Thuram. He fits what they are looking for, given his potential and manageable salary. They aren’t the only side tracking him, though. Instead, his Argentinian teammate had a good impact with Serie A, scoring thrice in eight matches. He had a cup of coffee at their youth academy in the past. The Ducali could be interested in bringing Francesco Pio Esposito as part of the negotiation.
Inter are mulling over signing a young center-forward, with Pellegrino as the fallback for Bonny, and a more established one to replace Marko Arnautovic, Joaquin Correa, and potentially also Mehdi Taremi, should he receive good offers, while Leoni is a late addition to their defensive shortlist. It also comprises Koni De Winter, Jhon Lucumi, and Sam Beukema, Corriere dello Sport informs.
On top of Jonathan David, the Nerazzurri are tracking Joshua Zirkzee. They’d be ready to offer a loan with a considerable option/obligation to buy if Manchester United decided to move on from him.
Our Take on Inter, Bonny, Pellegrino, and Leoni
The defender is almost a can-not-miss prospect, and any big team should be trying to get him. The two attackers are very different and can’t be alternatives. They could really use somebody like the former, while the latter has more common traits. They might as well keep Esposito if that’s what they are looking for.
