Alfredo Pedulla reveals that Xavi Simons was on the radar of Inter Milan before he moved towards a transfer to Chelsea.

The SportItalia transfer market expert reported, via FCInter1908, that the Nerazzurri decided to go all-in on signing Ademola Lookman instead.

Inter Milan are looking to make a big splash with an attacking signing this summer.

The Nerazzurri have reportedly eyed up a few possible signings to bolster their forward options. In particular, they want a winger, attacking midfielder, or withdrawn forward.

That would be to facilitate the move towards a 3-4-2-1 shape under Cristian Chivu.

The Nerazzurri are by all accounts pushing to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

However, the Nigerian is not the only player who the Nerazzurri have considered in this respect.

And among the backup targets Inter considered in attack was RB Leipzig and Netherlands attacking midfielder Xavi Simons.

The former PSG player now appears to be on the verge of a move to Chelsea, however.

Pedulla: “Xavi Simons Was On The Radar Of Inter Milan” Before Chelsea Switch

SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla explains that Simons “had been on the radar of Inter.”

“But Inter only have one name in mind for that area of the pitch,” he added.

In this sense, Pedulla was referring to Ademola Lookman.

“And now, in fact, Chelsea are moving to try and close a deal for him.”
