Inter Milan and Parma could agree a swap deal involving strikers Ange-Yoan Bonny and Sebastiano Esposito this summer.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908.
Inter Milan are now rapidly approaching the closing stage of negotiations with Parma for striker Ange-Yoan Bonny.
The Nerazzurri’s interest in the 21-year-old is certainly no secret. They had already been targeting him before appointing Cristian Chivu as coach – and the Romanian has further pushed them towards a deal.
Inter see Bonny as an ideal player to follow in the footsteps of Marcus Thuram.
Tuttosport confirm that Parma value Bonny at between €23-25 million.
Inter are ready to make a deal for the Frenchman on the basis of such a valuation.
However, Tuttosport report, Inter could also look to lower that valuation by offering a player going the other way.
22-year-old striker Sebastiano Esposito is back at Inter after a season on loan with Empoli. However, he will hardly be staying at the San Siro for long.
And according to Tuttosport, there is every possibility that Esposito could in fact join Parma as part of a deal for Bonny.
He would be valued at around €8-10 million in any such player-plus-cash swap deal.
