Inter’s search for a versatile forward who can possibly step in when Icardi is missing, has led them to Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge. The Englishman has reportedly said yes to Inter’s offer, impressed by the Milan club’s determination to sign him. Sky Sport report that ‘La Beneamata’ have proposed an initial loan deal for the Manchester City youth academy graduate until the end of the season alongside a substantial fee, with stipulations in place to make the move a permanent one come the end of the campaign. Sturridge has also strongly been linked to Sevilla, and he still sees his move to Spain, which is being delayed due to Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi’s potential switch, more preferable than one to Italy, as at Inter he is not guaranteed a starting spot.
Inter are said to have received an offer from Crystal Palace to sell striker Eder. Youth product Pinamonti has also attracted a lot of interest and if either of these players leave, Inter will start to seriously negotiate with Liverpool to bring the former Chelsea striker to Milan.
The 28-year-old has struggled to find a regular spot in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI since the German took charge in October 2015, with the frontman making just five starts in all competitions this season.
