Despite other reports suggesting Inter will only go after Bryan Cristante in the event of missing out on the Champions League, FCInterNews.it understand that Inter will pursue the midfielder in the summer transfer window regardless.

The Nerazzurri had identified the 22-year-old as a potential addition to the side during the January transfer window but no move ever came to fruition despite talks allegedly being held and there being numerous scouting trips to take a closer look at him.

Cristante has impressed while on loan at Atalanta this term and has also attracted interest from Juventus and Roma as a result. The Bergamo based club have an option to redeem him, an option they are more than likely to take full advantage of before selling the midfielder on for a big profit.

This term, the Italian international has made 32 appearances in all competitions for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, scoring 10 and assisting twice in the process.
