Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport report that Ligue 1 side Bordeaux has finally opened to the idea of loaning Malcom to Inter but now everything else needs to be defined as it’s becoming more likely that the Brazilian will become a Nerazzurri player.
Acocording to the report Inter are asking for an option to make the transfer permanent, whilst the French outfit want an obligation to buy as well as a big down-payment in the form of payment for the loan: “Bordeaux will only accept a concrete offer of €40 million to put the deal through, no matter the details, but the French club are always willing to talk.”
Meanwhile, at the same time there could be a breakthrough concerning Politano. Inter have put Eder on the table during their meeting with Sassuolo last Thursday but the Italian international striker would prefer a move back to Sampdoria, but will not be fussy, unlike Pinamonti last January, when Ausilio found an agreement with the Neroverdi which the youngster blocked. The situation of Yann Karamoh remains to be evaluated but it would only result in a loan to an Italian club to give him more experience.
These intense days of work have also involved Antonio Candreva. The former Lazio player has reportedly already renewed with Inter but could still leave: “Spalletti has succeeded in his first mission to bring Inter back to the Champions League and is consequently orchestrating a market to adapt to European Football”, the Corriere explains.
Last Summer, Inter needed Perisic to stay, despite Manchester United’s interest, now it’s time for Inter to make their own moves. Rafinha has returned to Barcelona after Inter failed to redeem him but he is still being monitored.
Malcom and Politano are the names in Ausilio’s list and they represent a restyling of Inter that takes into account the Spalletti’s needs and requests. Eder and Candreva are the predictable sacrifices as they arrived at Inter ahead of Spalletti and all the decisions he would of taken if at the helm.
